Vaal Riviera S1

From POP24, the producers of The Mommy Club: Van Die Hoofstad, the most-watched Afrikaans reality show on Showmax, comes Vaal Riviera, a new reality series set in Vanderbijlpark and Vereeniging.

The Vaal might not have Pretoria’s polish, but the families here bring just as much heat. Meet the Arangies, the Snymans, the Deysels, and the Swarts, four bold, proudly local Afrikaans families navigating love, loyalty, legacy and plenty of drama on the banks of the Vaal River.

This is small-town living with big personalities, real stakes, and a whole lot of heart.

Stream now, with new episodes every Tuesday on Showmax.
