The Real Housewives of Lagos
The Real Housewives of Lagos, which recently wrapped an explosive two-part reunion, arrived with all the heat and fanfare expected from The Real Housewives franchise. Delivering high fashion, luxury, drama, shocking revelations, and power moves in true Lagos style, the show topped Twitter trends in Nigeria and South Africa.
It follows the opulent lives of six of the most glamorous women in Africaâs largest megacity: businesswoman Carolyna Hutchings, lawyer and luxury hair brand owner Chioma Ikokwu, Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo, influencer Laura Ikeji-Kanu, PR expert Mariam Timmer, and celebrity stylist Toyin Lawani.
Kyallo Kulture S1
KOT (Kenyans on Twitter)Â may have labelled them the âKambashiansâ but the Kyallo sisters are creating their own culture, away from any Kardashians comparisons, with their reality show Kyallo Kulture.
Currently in episode 5, Kyallo Kulture dives into the personal lives of Betty Kyallo, one of Kenyaâs most prominent media personalities and a thriving entrepreneur, and her equally bold sisters, Mercy and Gloria Kyallo, like youâve never seen before.
They lay it all bare as they give us a glimpse into the joys and pains of sisterhood, their love lives that have attracted controversy, growing into womanhood, and taking charge of their businesses.
Life with Kelly Khumalo S3
A household name in South Africa by 21, with nearly 2.5m followers on Instagram alone, Kelly Khumalo has been named Best Female Artist at the South African Music Awards, sold millions of albums, and opened for Grammy winner Missy Elliott.
Season 3 of her award-winning reality series Life With Kelly Khumalo picks up with her trending on Twitter again, after the release of the true-crime documentary series about the death of footballer Senzo Meyiwa and his trial about to start. As Kelly says in the trailer, âThey hate the fact that I am the one who did not die that day.â
Despite the conspiracy theories, sheâs at the pinnacle of her career, with a South African Music Award-nominated Gold album.
But thereâs more to her story than her history. Life With Kelly Khumalo is an intimate glimpse at the woman behind the headlines.
