Showmax’s masterclass series has already unveiled secrets from talents including Empini’s Nambitha Ben-Mwazi, The Wife’s Bonko Khoza, legendary director Mandla N and producer Layla Swart. Now, the queen of reality TV, Mrs Mops, is ready to spill. 

In the masterclass, Mrs Mops reveals how you too can build a reality TV career and transform into a brand powerhouse. Whether you’re aiming to break into TV, become an influencer or take your career to the next level, the iconic star gives no-nonsense advice that offers the tools, strategies, and motivation to succeed in show business.

An instant fan-favourite on The Mommy Club, Mrs Mops began her career as a skilled actress, honing her craft at film school before landing roles on hit South African shows like The River and Adulting. 

But it was her leap into reality TV that catapulted her into stardom, making her a household name. When she joined The Real Housewives of Johannesburg in Season 2, Mrs Mops quickly became one of South Africa's most recognisable faces. Her magnetic presence and undeniable charisma captured the hearts of viewers, and her role in The Mommy Club solidified her status as one of the top entertainment figures in the country.

Now, Mrs Mops is committed to helping the next generation of reality TV stars build sustainable, successful brands. Drawing from her years of industry experience, she offers a step-by-step guide to reaching the top and staying there. From mastering your social media game to understanding your purpose in front of the camera, Mrs Mops’ practical advice is a roadmap for aspiring reality stars eager to make their mark.

Mrs Mops firmly believes that to gain traction in the industry, you must surround yourself with a team that will help you reach your goals. "From PR professionals to agents and makeup stylists, everyone you work with has the power to shape your career - for better or worse.”

The business mogul also shares her insights on the power of consistency in social media. “To grow your presence, you need to be consistent. Post every day – that’s the smarter way to grow your audience.”

In her Showmax masterclass, Mrs Mops also highlights the importance of authenticity in reality TV. “We want someone who is authentically themselves. There are 8 billion people in the world, and every one is unique,” she says. “When I first got into the reality TV space, I made the mistake of not being true to myself and boy oh boy, was I called out and the mask fell off. So because you are living your true life, you are dealing with real-life issues on camera so you have no choice but to be your true authentic self.”
