See Pretoria's powerhouses in The Mommy Club: Van Die Hoofstad
Fresh off the success of The Mommy Club and The Mommy Club: Sugar & Spice, The Mommy Club: Van Die Hoofstad is set to bring Jacaranda City to life like never before.
The third instalment of the franchise will showcase five powerhouse moms who are redefining the art of balancing parenting, power, and prestige – all while leaning on their close-knit families to raise the next generation.
Watch the trailer for The Mommy Club: Van Die Hoofstad
Produced by franchise creators POP24, The Mommy Club: Van Die Hoofstad introduces a bold, dynamic cast of Afrikaans women who aren't afraid to show their vulnerability: Ansu Viljoen, Crystal Van Der Burgh, Johandri Johnson, Louise Volschenk, and Tessa Tulles.
This season offers a front-row seat to the lives of these extraordinary mothers as they navigate the complexities of raising heirs, managing marriages, and juggling their glamorous lifestyles.
Meet the mommies:
Ansu Viljoen
At 30, Ansu is a mother of two, wife to Heinrich Viljoen, and a professional with multiple degrees from NWU Potchefstroom and Stellenbosch University. An influencer and qualified hydrogeologist, Ansu balances her career with the chaos of raising two toddlers under the age of four.
Crystal Van Der Burgh
Twenty-nine-year-old Crystal is the ultimate daddy’s girl, working alongside her father in their family-run company. Currently developing a shopping centre, Crystal has been engaged to Andrew Oliver since December 2017. She has two children and her first child was born when she was just 17, still in school.
Johandri Johnson
Thirty-three-year-old Johandri has multiple Bikini Fitness titles and is now embracing life as a full-time mom and influencer. Together with her husband, Stiaan Johnson, she has a one-year-old.
Louise Volschenk
At 38, Louise is a thriving entrepreneur in the beauty industry, balancing a successful business, two children, and 12 years of marriage.
Tessa Tullues
Thirty-six-year-old Tessa is a former Mrs South Africa finalist and beauty entrepreneur, navigating life as a single mom of two following an ongoing divorce. Embracing this new chapter, she faces the challenges of raising her children on her own while finding strength in her independence.
