The Mommy Club: Van Die Hoofstad S1

Fresh off the success of The Mommy Club and The Mommy Club: Sugar & Spice, The Mommy Club: Van Die Hoofstad brought the Jacaranda City to life like never before.

The third instalment of the franchise showcased 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, and became Showmax’s most-watched Afrikaans title since relaunch.

Produced by franchise creators POP24, The Mommy Club: Van Die Hoofstad introduced 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 Tullues.

Part 1 and Part 2 of The Mommy Club: Van Die Hoofstad reunion, hosted by Leandie du Randt, brought the cast back together to reflect on a whirlwind season, unpacking the highs, the lows, and answering all the burning questions fans have been waiting for. Stream all 15 episodes on Showmax now.
