The Queens Of Mzansi

Season 1 Mondays SABC 1 (*191) 21:00

Reality TV wives know how to keep viewers tuned in. From the sisterhood, to the catfights, it’s all good when you’re watching the women stars. And now there’s a brand new local series stirring drama – The Queens Of Mzansi (TQOM). It follows five single women of different ages and from different walks of life within the entertainment and media industry.

From gender-based violence and divorce, to financial difficulties and life as a widow, nothing is off limits. “The Queens Of Mzansi is the antithesis of Real Housewives franchise,” says Sam- kelisiwe Samke Mhlongo. “The show is everything people have been praying to see about women. Our identity isn’t from being someone’s wife, it’s from being ourselves.”
