She also thanked the production company, Showmax and her fans.
I thank Let It Rain Films' for the great opportunity and understand that as a friend to the show, my position was never guaranteed.

-- MEET THE NEW CAST MEMBERS Showmax announced three new businesswomen, including Mbali Ngiba who said she joined Season 3 as it felt like a great opportunity for her to be a part of such a successful franchise amongst such amazing women.
Mbali is a musician, actress and the co-founder of African Centric Designs. She is best-known for her role as Welile in defunct Mzansi Magic telenovela Greed and Desire. She has also appeared in other telenovelas such as Isibaya and Isithembiso.
Also joining the reality series is Slindile Wendy Ndlovu who is a human resource consultant by qualification, with experience in events management and interior designing. She is also the founder of events management company Mawesi Consulting.
The third lady is Maria Valaskatzs, a television presenter, producer and writer. She is the director of media and communications agency MV Consulting and is the co-owner of video production company VKATZPK Media.
