The Real Housewives of Johannesburg S1-3

Winner of Best Non-Scripted TV Series at this year’s National Film and Television Awards, the third season of The Real Housewives of Johannesburg takes us into the lavish lifestyles of six dynamic women as they navigate life, wealth, friendship dynamics, romantic relationships, and making it big in the City of Gold. 

Season 2 returnees Lethabo “LeJoy” Mathatho and Lebo “Jojo” Mokoena are joined by newly-single mother of three Keabetswe Marema, investor and traditional healer Thobekile Mdlalose, YouTuber and podcaster Mamus Koka, and recently divorced entrepreneur Nicole Watson, who’ll let us share in the successes and struggles of their personal lives and, of course, all the juicy drama that unfolds when the six get together.

Showmax is also home to the other African editions of NBCUniversal’s multi-award-winning Real Housewives franchise including Abuja, Durban, Lagos and Nairobi.
