Reality TV shows have become so popular that the host of the reunion episode has become as crucial as a referee of a sporting finale.
“I’m here to represent the viewers and ensure they get the clarity they deserve on everything that’s happened this season,” said media personality Ntombee Ngcobo-Mzolo, who will host The Mommy Club reunion later this month.
Ngcobo-Mzolo returns as the host for the popular Showmax reality TV show’s reunion episode.
The Mommy Club’s season 3 finale ended tensely and uncertainly. The cast members were split into two factions.
On one side stand the OG Hermajesty, who has been part of the show since the first season, Season 2 alum Mrs Sande, and newcomers Pheladi and Vuyi.
The other faction sees newcomers Mrs J, Noksie, and a friend of the show, Rosette.

Ngcobo-Mzolo’s approach
Given the cast members’ divisions, Ngcobo-Mzolo says her approach to hosting the reunion will be rooted in understanding and resolution.
“As the reunion host, my goal is to create a space where the mommies can speak freely and work through their issues,” she said.
“Ideally, I’d love to see them find common ground and move forward as a group. That begins with getting to the root of their conflicts and truly acknowledging each other’s perspectives.”
While her approach would make Nelson Mandela proud, Ngcobo-Mzolo acknowledges that she still needs to ask tough questions that viewers are eager to answer.
“I want viewers to feel that all their burning questions have been answered; nothing should be left unsaid.”
The Mommy Club’s growth
Season 3 of The Mommy Club is the most-watched reality series of 2025 so far on Showmax, while its Pretoria-set spinoff, The Mommy Club: Van Die Hoofstad, recently set a new Showmax record as the most-watched Afrikaans series since the African streamer’s relaunch last year.
The Mommy Club: Sugar & Spice, set in Durban’s Indian community, is the second South African edition.
The Mommy Club: Tanzania marks the franchise’s expansion into East Africa and is currently streaming on Showmax.
The mothers include actress, musician, entrepreneur Rose Ndauka, actress, businesswoman, and brand ambassador Marry Mtemi, and award-winning actress and comedian Pili Kitimtim.
