Since the announcement of the second Afrikaans language edition of NBCUniversal Formats’ The Real Housewives franchise, Die Real Housewives van die Wynlande last week we’ve been waiting in anticipation to see who will form part of the cast.
Our curiosity has finally been satisfied as kykNET released the identities of the six glamorous women who are sure to have South Africans riveted to their television screens on Friday morning.
Set against the backdrop of the picturesque Cape winelands, the cast is full of strong independent women who are not afraid to speak their minds and include former beauty queens, strong entrepreneurs, a fitness model and an aesthethic doctor that will keep everyone frown free.

31 years after she was crowned the first non-white Miss South Africa in 1992, Amy Kleinhans-Curd is now a committed mom and director of various companies, living in Franschhoek with her husband, New Zealand businessman Leighton Curd.
The mother of four is also a director of the homework hotline, Dial-A-Teacher, which was founded in 2000 in partnership with the Nelson Mandela Fund.
She is also launching her own Cap Classique sparkling wine as well as a skincare range called Amelia (her birthname).
Mariska and her husband Quintus are stock traders, but she also runs a business that upcycles second-hand clothes. The couple and their daughter, Ocean, live on the same estate as Amy and her family and are avid trail runners.
Karen is no average housewife. The mom of two daughters is also a successful businesswoman who holds a degree in BCom Accounting from UP, an MBL from Unisa and a degree in Visual Basic Programming from Harvard in America.
She lives in the Val de Vie Estate between Paarl and Franschhoek and always makes time for charity work despite her long working hours.
Having left the stage as an experienced professional singer years ago, Candice is now the marketing manager of Quench.
She lives in the Aan de Weber Estate in Stellenbosch with her husband Werner and her daughter Emma.
While Michelle specialised in trauma, nowadays, she is an aesthetic doctor who focuses on treatments like Botox. She and her husband, Dr. André Olivier, live in the Boskloof Eco Estate in Somerset West.
Anita and her husband, Boyce, are high school sweethearts, and she gave up her profession as a teacher to support him in his career. For ten years, they lived across the world for Boyce’s work before finally returning to South Africa. Boyce has been the chief executive of KWV since 2016.
Die Real Housewives van die Wynlande starts 20 April 2023, at 8pm, on kykNET (DStv Channel 144).
