What do you get when you copy and paste a TV format and dress it up with fake nails, airbrushed photos and reali-acting?
Another five gold diggers on The Real Housewives of Gqeberha. The windy city, which has no impact on them because they're so empowered they can turn off the wind.
According to 1Magic, the women in Gqeberha "bond through power".
The series premieres on the channel on Friday 3 February at 20h30 with an undisclosed number of cast members. Five have just been revealed and more will be announced later.
Here's a close-up on each of them, with pics that we've selected followed by their official bios:
Ashleigh Mather
Look, no wind.
Must be a very pricey plastic chair.
Profile:
The sweetheart of the group, fresh-faced Ashleigh is a wife and mom who works in the fabulously fast-paced fashion industry. But don’t be fooled: while she might be unassuming, she’s no pushover.
With her family owning two of the biggest clubs in the city, she certainly has a wild side that might catch her castmates by surprise. How will they react when she lets her hair down?
Buli G Ngomane
According to Buli's Insta (@buli.g), this photo has no filter.
Tanya vibes from The White Lotus.
Profile:
In-demand MC, high-end events planner, brand ambassador, former Idols contestant, award-winning businesswoman, and now Real Housewife: to say that the charismatic Buli G’s CV is impressive would be an understatement.
A highly connected social butterfly known for bringing the light into any room she enters – will her light be too bright for some in the cast?
Liz Prins
You'd think someone else would staple and punch her papers if she's the boss.
"This top will be off my shoulder even if it throttles me."
Profile:
A dedicated mom and socialite who loves jogging, Liz is a straight shooter. But beneath that bubbly exterior is a woman who is softer than she seems.
Still recovering from the loss of her beloved husband, the construction project manager who sold her company for eight figures, is navigating life as a widow.
Her heart might be in the right place, but will her words land her in hot water with the group?
Norma Nicol
Clearly doesn't realise that busy fabric prints don't work on camera.
.
Keeps her handbag with her in her own backyard.
Profile:
Career-focused and fierce, when Norma isn’t running things as events planner at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, she’s a dedicated wife and mom.
Married into Ghanaian royalty, Norma is the real deal when it comes to glitz and glam. She stylishly juggles many roles without breaking a nail - but will anyone dare come for her throne?
Unathi Faku
Is that sunroof paid off or on credit?
"Yay, I'm in a boiling hot swimsuit!"
Profile:
Self-proclaimed Gqeberha royalty, Unathi is no shrinking violet. As a successful salon owner and the wife of the city’s former mayor, she is comfortable in the public eye and having her every move watched.
A gym lover whose social media pages are peppered with fitness snaps, she’s also a dedicated and doting mother. Will she be able to let her guard down with the other ladies?
