The Mommy Club ladies ready for an explosive reunion
The Johannesburg mommies are ready to settle the scores before a new chapter begins.
The ladies of The Mommy Club are ready to face the music as they gear up for the reunion.
Showmax has released the official trailer for the highly anticipated Season 3 reunion.
Premiering in two parts on 17 and 24 May 2025, the reunion promises frank confessions and a whole lot of accountability.
Hosted by Ntombee Ngcobo-Mzobe, the episode will clear the air on everything that unfolded both on and off screen. From betrayals and backstabbing to friendships tested and personal growth, nothing will be off-limits.

Happy Simelane: 'Nothing to hide'
Hermajesty says she's stepping into the reunion with full transparency.
'It's time to put everything on the table — the truths, the tension, and every unspoken word. There's a lot that needs to be unpacked,' she said.
Mrs J said she was shocked to hear what had been said behind her back and is looking forward to addressing things.
'I would like to use the reunion as an opportunity to address what needs to be addressed fully. As mothers, I hope we can iron out our differences and see if there's a way forward,' she added.
Noksie, on the other hand, says she feels calm, centred, and ready to reclaim her narrative.
'Some people owe me apologies… While I'm ready to own my part, I won't ignore the intentional hurt that was sent my way.'
'The Mommy Club' no-show
Another mom, Pheladi Madungandaba, was reportedly a no-show at the reunion shoot.
According to City Press, sources revealed that Madungandaba did not attend because she wants nothing to do with the show and was angered by an episode titled Mogwanti Wa Pitori, which featured her picture on the thumbnail.

See you later, Nonku! Why her exit from 'The Real Housewives of Durban' is a cause for celebration
Nonku Williams foot-in-mouth syndrome is on another level in season five of 'The Real Housewives of Durban'. Image: Supplied Earlier this week, Nonku Williams surprised fans when she announced that she was leaving 'The Real Housewives of Durban' franchise. Not just that, she revealed that she was not attending the season five reunion episodes. Now, if you have been following the reality show, you know that it is customary to wrap with those reflection two-part episodes, where people are not just called out for their behaviour, but they have to account for their actions. So when I stumbled across Nonku's social media post, I laughed. Don't get me wrong, I'm not being dismissive of any mental health struggles. Not in the least. I just thought, "What a load of malarkey". Nonku joined in episode one. I still remember it as if it were yesterday - not for flattering reasons, mind you. Harbouring resentment, she targeted Ayanda Ncwane during Sorisha Naidoo's party with a pointed remark, indicating a lingering issue. The reason came to light. Ayanda married Sifiso Ncwane after his relationship with Nonku ended. The two share a child. Nonku intentionally created an awkward atmosphere at the event, fuelled by her personal conflict. Back to season five, Nonku went to great pains to remind newcomers, especially Lo Sithole, that she's the OG. Throughout this season, she's been at the epicentre of the drama. Her foot-in-mouth syndrome even left me taken aback. She body-shamed women. She put her BFF Jojo Robinson in a very difficult position (although the signs of friendship being over were on the wall for a very long time) several times on the show. She then had the audacity to feign victimhood, all while persistently engaging in this absurd, religiously fuelled game of one-upmanship with Lo. Honestly, Nonku was a mess, looked a mess, and behaved badly. There was no redemption in her reign of rudeness and entitlement. In her Instagram post, she wrote: 'The woman I see isn't someone I recognise or respect. I've played a role in shaping this narrative, but I'm also a product of the show's dynamics. The relentless pursuit of drama, the pitting of women against each other, the gossip and the put-downs - it's a toxic cycle that wears me down.' Again, what a joke, when she was the prime instigator in many instances. I'm glad to see the back of Nonku - and her hypocrisy. She can live out her 'Nonku Williams International' dreams elsewhere. While Showmax has yet to respond to Nonku's announcement, I'm waiting with my popcorn to see how she's going to deal with a breach of contract lawsuit for being a no-show at the reunion episodes.

Reel tribute: celebrating Presley Chweneyagae's Oscar-winning legacy with special screenings
DStv and Showmax have organised special screenings of his most notable works, including the film that catapulted him to stardom, " Tsotsi ". Chweneyagae died of natural causes on May 27. The South African entertainment industry recently lost one of the country's most iconic talents: Presley Chweneyagae . In the week following his death, two memorial services were held to celebrate Chweneyagae's life and career, giving friends, family and fans a space to honour the legacy of the versatile actor. His contribution to the arts has left an indelible mark, with "Tsotsi" standing as a notable highlight. This film, directed by Gavin Hood and based on Athol Fugard's acclaimed novel, follows the journey of a young boy navigating the harsh realities of life in Johannesburg's townships. "Tsotsi" tells the poignant story of a car thief who finds a baby in the stolen vehicle, forcing him to confront his own life choices. The film not only gained critical acclaim but also earned Chweneyagae an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. "Tsotsi" stars Chweneyagae alongside Terry Pheto, Kenneth Nkosi, Jerry Mofokeng and Rapulana Seiphemo. The film began its Oscar journey with victories at the Edinburgh Film Festival and the People's Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival, culminating in a heartwarming moment at the 2006 Oscars when Will Smith presented the Best Foreign Language Film award to a visibly emotional Gavin Hood.

Celebrate the life of Presley Chweneyagae on DStv and Showmax
South Africa stands united in grief as it bids farewell to Presley Chweneyagae, a giant of the screen and stage, who passed away at the age of 40. This weekend, DStv and Showmax celebrate his life, legacy, and unforgettable artistry with a special line-up of his finest work. This includes the Oscar-winning Tsotsi and the grand finale of Cobrizi . Presley's journey began in Mafikeng, where he first stepped onto the stage at age ten. His star exploded onto the world scene in 2005 with Tsotsi, a film that would make history. 'Presley Chweneyagae's performance in Tsotsi remains one of the most iconic portrayals in African cinema,' said the National Film and Video Foundation. The film, based on Athol Fugard's novel, follows a young man's struggle for survival in Johannesburg's townships. It won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, a first for South Africa. The award turned Presley into a household name, according to Showmax Stories. But Presley was never content with just one triumph, as he returned home, where he poured his heart into theatre, television, and film. Presley Chweneyagae dazzled in classics like Hamlet and Julius Caesar , co-authored the acclaimed play Relativity, and directed the award-winning Cell No. 4. Yet, it was his role as Cobra on The River that made him a fixture in South African living rooms. 'He was every mother's son, every girl's funny lover, and everyone's best friend,' said Nomsa Philiso, CEO of General Entertainment at MultiChoice. Presley's portrayal of Cobra was so beloved, it spawned the spin-off Cobrizi. The series, gritty and full of heart, saw Presley shine both in front of the camera and behind it as Executive Producer. 'He didn't just entertain—he made us laugh, made us care, and helped us understand the people behind the stories,' Philiso added. This weekend, fans can relive Presley's greatest moments. Tsotsi airs on M-Net (DStv Channel 101) at 9 pm on 6 June, and streams on Showmax and DStv Stream. It returns to Mzansi Magic on Saturday, 7 June at 8 pm, and to M-Net Movies 4 on 15 June at 8 pm. Mzansi Bioskop celebrates his legacy with Zama Zama (9 June), and State of Violence (10 June). iNumber Number (11 June), and Tsotsi again on 12 June will all air at 9pm. The Cobrizi finale airs Sunday, 8 June at 8 pm on Mzansi Magic. 'Presley was a friend, a mentor, a beacon of creativity and perseverance,' said his management agency, MLA. South Africa has lost a legend, but his stories and spirit will live on. Robala ka kagiso, Presley Chweneyagae. Your legacy is forever engraved in our hearts and screens.
