The Real Housewives franchise is growing in the country as we are about to experience just how lavish the Pretoria wives live. We just got introduced to The Real Housewives Of Cape Town and some viewers agree that the reality series is mid. We just have to wait and see what Die Real Housewives van Pretoria have to offer.
It was just announced by M-Net that Pretoria just got added to the mix of housewives and it will be the first ever Afrikaans-based series from the franchise.
Producer Rian van Heerden is confident that the show will create a buzz, “I am convinced that Die Real Housewives van Pretoria will get the country buzzing and keep it buzzing. There are more than enough moments that will leave you stunned but also make you think twice about the traditional message that Pretoria is conservative and boring.”
The show will be simulcast as it will play on both kykNET and Showmax, “We want to showcase a group of strong Afrikaans women from Pretoria who play big roles in their families and communities and of course, also bring the pizzazz the Real Housewives is known for.”
“These women live large and know the beautiful things in life. This is a rare chance to get to know them intimately, and walk in their shoes,” said Waldimar Pelser who is the director of channels.
Nomsa Philliso added by saying the show will be authentic, “We are excited to bring another cohort from the Real Housewives franchise, this is aligned to showcasing a diverse content offering to our customers and to continue to tell local stories as Africa’s most loved storyteller.”
