The channel said viewers are in for a treat.
“Viewers can expect an unplanned race in luxury vehicles, a dramatic hike, Botox, hyenas, an action-packed trip to Zanzibar and lots of horses,” they wrote.
Speaking about the show, Waldimar Pelser, director of the kykNet channels, said they are privileged to bring the franchise to their channel.

“It is a privilege to bring the famous international Real Housewives franchise to kykNet. The fact that this series is set in Pretoria rather than Lagos or Cape Town was always going to require us to approach it differently than the other Real Housewives shows produced around the world,” he said.
“We want to showcase a group of strong Afrikaans women from Pretoria who play big roles in their families and communities, and of course also bring the pizzazz that Real Housewives is known for. These women live large and know the beautiful things in life. This is a rare chance to get to know them intimately, and walk in their shoes,” he continued.
Nomsa Philiso, the executive head of programming: M-Net channels, said the show will be authentic and entertaining.
“We are excited to bring another cohort from the Real Housewives franchise, this is aligned to our commitment to showcasing a diverse content offering to our customers and to continue to tell local stories as Africa’s most-loved storyteller. The Real Housewives of Pretoria will bring nothing short of authentic, entertaining, and exciting content to viewers,” she said.
Die Real Housewives van Pretoria will premiere on 13 October 2022 on kykNet (DStv channel 144) and Showmax.
