The Real Housewives of Johannesburg made its debut in August 2018 with a total of six ladies including Brinnette Seopela, Christall Kay, mother and daughter, Evodia and Mercy Mogase, Lendy Ter Mors, and Naledi Willers. The show also featured Lerika Kleinhans and Olwethu Leshabane, who appeared as the “friends” of the series. The second season then came with major changes to the cast as Seopela and Kay were the only two original cast members that returned to the series.
Earlier in the year M-Net’s channel director for local entertainment channels, Nomsa Philiso, confirmed the discontinuation of the show due to “unforeseen circumstances” however, the Sunday World publication reported a totally different story.
According to the publication the show was canned after Christall Kay was allegedly attacked by cast member Brinnette Seopela and her BFF Gugu Khathi outside a club in Pretoria while the show was in still in production. This brawl allegedly resulted in the upcoming season of RHOJ being canned temporarily for a few more month until Kay healed from her injuries, and we are happy that the ladies are back.
