Media personality MaBlerh (Mthokozisi Cele) will host the world’s first-ever Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Africa reunion, a historic first for the franchise, Showmax and Mzansi Magic announced. The highly anticipated reunion will air in two parts on Showmax on 20 and 27 February 2026, and on Mzansi Magic on 21 and 28 February. Since the spin-off launched in 2021, this is the first time the cast has reunited.
Speaking about the moment, MaBlerh said it signals Africa’s leadership on the international television stage. "This season sets a new standard and proves that Africa can deliver premium, appointment-viewing television at the highest level," he said.
Featuring nine of Africa’s most ambitious and iconic women, the season has been explosive, with real emotions and intense conflicts. MaBlerh promises a reunion that mirrors the drama of the series.
"Everything will be put on the table, and everyone will be held accountable. My approach is not to avoid any topic or soften the truth," he said.
Despite the cast’s strong personalities, MaBlerh stressed impartiality.
"I hold everyone to the same standard. There will be no favouritism, no special treatment, and no protection from accountability."
He acknowledged that some moments might be uncomfortable, but said that is what makes compelling television.
"I host with no fear, and I believe uncomfortable conversations often lead to the most honest television."
Set in Africa, this season of RHUGT: Africa is bigger and bolder than previous installments. The cast brings layered histories that push conversations further than viewers might expect. For MaBlerh, leading this landmark reunion is deeply personal.
"It is a career-defining moment. Hosting the first Ultimate Girls Trip reunion in the world, on African soil, is something I am incredibly proud of."
As social media buzz continues, MaBlerh said the reunion offers closure and accountability.
"People should watch to see how the story ends. The reunion gives the women the opportunity to answer for themselves and speak directly to what has been said.
