Evodia and Mercy did too much at the reunion but I've seen worse at these American reunions… honestly Evodia and Crystal made this show for me,the rest were extras.

The first season of the show kicked off in August 2018 and promised viewers a glimpse inside into the lives of Johannesburg’s most successful and richest women. What they ended up getting was so much more.

How the second season will do without it’s arguably most interesting characters remains to be seen but season two premieres on Friday, October 18, at 7pm on 1Magic DStv channel 103.
