Shahan Ramkissoon to Host The Reunion Special for The Mommy Club: Sugar & Spice
Reunion Parts 1 & 2 to Premiere on 31 October 2024 & 7 November 2024 on Showmax.
Renowned journalist and talk show host Shahan Ramkissoon is set to bring his sharp wit and no-nonsense approach to the highly anticipated reunion special of The Mommy Club: Sugar & Spice, airing on Showmax. The two-part special will premiere on 31 October and 7 November 2024, wrapping up the second season of this beloved franchise that takes a deep dive into the glamorous, often tumultuous lives of Durban’s elite moms.
Produced by POP24, The Mommy Club: Sugar & Spice is the sequel to the original The Mommy Club, which introduced viewers to Johannesburg’s dynamic “it moms.” This new season shifts focus to Durban’s Indian community, offering an inside look at the lives of vibrant, successful mothers balancing the demands of family, career, and societal expectations.
The cast of the show includes prominent figures such as Abigail Nepaul, Asharia Parsad, Christina Devraj, Devina Kowlas, Kim Jones, Lenore Goss-Matjie, Neetasha Singh Bugwandin, and twins Losh and Resh Naidoo. Their larger-than-life personalities, intertwined family dramas, and competitive streaks have kept viewers hooked throughout the season.
Shahan Ramkissoon, known for his fearless interviews and transparent style, is excited to take on the role of host for this explosive reunion.
“I am here to hold the ladies accountable and give viewers a voice. I aim to ask the questions everyone has been thinking. This reunion will be unfiltered, with no sugarcoating.”
says Shahan
With tensions already at an all-time high, especially after the fiery season finale featuring a dramatic exchange between Lenore and the twins, Shahan promises to dive deep into unresolved conflicts.
“My approach will be authentic. I’m here to be honest about what these women have experienced, what they’ve said, and what they’ve done on screen. I want to explore their stories and the dynamics that challenge traditional perceptions within the Indian community.”
Shahan’s presence brings a fresh energy to the reunion. Earlier this year, he garnered praise for his role in The Showmax Roast of Minnie Dlamini, proving his ability to balance humor, seriousness, and the tough questions. As a longtime fan of The Mommy Club: Sugar & Spice, he knows exactly what viewers want to see.
“I didn’t start watching just because I got the chance to host the reunion. I know what’s unfolded, the twisted truths, and backstabbing, so like every viewer, I have many uncomfortable questions,”.
he reveals
Zinzi Velelo Alake, executive producer at POP24, shared why Shahan was the perfect choice for the reunion special.
“We chose Shahan for his exceptional skills as a journalist and broadcaster. He has interviewed some of the world’s most influential figures, and we believe this reunion requires someone with his experience. These women are powerful, and Shahan is the ideal facilitator for this conversation.”
With The Mommy Club currently nominated for Best Structured Soapie Reality Show at the upcoming SAFTAs on 25 and 26 October, anticipation for the reunion is higher than ever. Whether it’s bringing unresolved conflicts to light or providing moments of reflection, Shahan Ramkissoon is ready to steer the conversation with his signature mix of accountability and empathy.
