Showmax’s masterclass series, which has already revealed industry insights from stars like Empini’s Nambitha Ben-Mwazi, The Wife’s Bonko Khoza, and legendary director Mandla N, is now getting an exciting addition: Mrs Mops, the queen of reality TV, is ready to share her secrets.
In her highly anticipated masterclass, Mrs Mops offers aspiring stars the tools, strategies, and motivation needed to build a successful career in reality TV. Whether you’re aiming to become an influencer, break into television, or take your career to the next level, Mrs Mops provides no-nonsense advice and practical steps to succeed in the showbiz world.
A fan favourite on The Mommy Club, Mrs Mops first made her mark as a skilled actress, attending film school and landing roles on popular South African shows like The River and Adulting. However, it was her leap into reality TV that truly catapulted her to stardom. When she joined The Real Housewives of Johannesburg in Season 2, her magnetic presence and undeniable charisma quickly made her one of South Africa’s most recognisable faces.
Her time on The Mommy Club further solidified her place as a top entertainment figure in the country. Now, Mrs Mops is dedicated to helping the next generation of reality TV stars navigate the industry and build sustainable, successful brands. Drawing from her years of experience, she offers a step-by-step guide to reaching the top and staying there.
In her masterclass, Mrs Mops stresses the importance of surrounding yourself with the right team. “From PR professionals to agents and makeup stylists, everyone you work with has the power to shape your career – for better or worse,” she advises.
She also highlights the significance of consistency on social media, saying, “To grow your presence, you need to be consistent. Post every day – that’s the smarter way to grow your audience.”
Above all, Mrs Mops emphasises the power of authenticity in reality TV. “We want someone who is authentically themselves,” she says. “When I first got into the reality TV space, I made the mistake of not being true to myself, and boy oh boy, was I called out. So because you are living your true life, you are dealing with real-life issues on camera, so you have no choice but to be your true authentic self.”
