Another Real Housewives spinoff is set to hit Mzansi television screens and this time around it’ll be following the women of Gqeberha, Eastern Cape.

Norma Nicol, Buli G Ngomane, Liz Prins, Unathi Faku and Ashleigh Mather are the women who make up the cast of the first season of the Real Housewives of Gqeberha (RHOGQ).

The adapted international franchise will showcase the fabulous lives of the five flamboyant women from the windy coastal city as the first episode is set to premiere on 1Magic on February 3 at 8.30pm.

While more cast members are set to be added to the list, the five announced women are ready to show viewers a side of Gqeberha that has never been seen before, one that includes tight circles and strong bonds.

“Since its debut in 2017, the local Real Housewives universe has been a hit with our audiences, bringing drama, wit and glamour to our screens. Each installment has been a hot topic of discussion for viewers, constantly trending online and keeping audiences engaged,” says Shirley Adonisi, director of local entertainment channels at M-Net.

“We’re excited to expand into the city of Gqeberha, bringing fresh faces into a world our viewers love. We’re keen to see how audiences resonate with this newest installment.”
