Shebeen Queens S1

Shebeen Queens is a reality show about the bold women behind popular Soweto shebeens Alina’s Place, Big Mama’s Tavern, and Rama Tavern.

Starring larger-than-life entrepreneurs Alina Sishange, Emily Thabang Leeuw a.k.a Big Mama, and Xoliswa Shwayimba, the Showmax Original follows the shebeen queens as they try to balance parenting with keeping their businesses afloat in a cut-throat, all-hours industry that is filled with liquor and laughter – and has historically been male-dominated.

Shebeen Queens is produced by Barkers Media (How To Manifest A Man) and directed by Mpho Lengane (Isencane Lengane).

All the episodes for Shebeen Queens are available to binge on Showmax.
