The new additions are set to bring fresh perspectives and, no doubt, plenty of fire to this already explosive cast.

Catch the Taglines That Will Get You Talking

As always, the Housewives bring their A-game when it comes to taglines.

Here’s a sneak peek at what some of the stars are serving up this season:

Angel Ndlela: “Word on the street is that I am young, single and I stand on business. Come for me and I will read you like a thesis.”
Ayanda Mthembu: “Living my dreams one fit at a time! Fashion is my game and the world is my runway.”
Jojo Robinson: “A masterpiece takes time. I am evolving with every chapter because why settle for a blank canvas?”
Kwanele Kubheka: “Marriage, motherhood and mileage: I am the ultimate frequent flyer.”
Lo Sithole: “The Lord is my shepherd and my family is my rock. I may be lowkey but my bite is worse than my bark.”

RHOD has even gained popularity overseas, airing on Bravo in the US and Hayu in multiple countries.

As Nonku Williams says about the upcoming season, “Viewers need to expect the unexpected.”
