Leanie du Randt hosts Van die Hoofstad reunionIn a statement on Monday 2 June, Pop24 executive producer Lea Knoesen described Leandie as an exceptional presenter with years of experience in the entertainment industry.
"She's the perfect fit to guide a group of such strong, dynamic women. Leandie brings the heart, strength and presence needed to lead these important conversations with the care and sensitivity they deserve, Knoesen said.
The Mommy Club: Van die Hoofstad trailer on YouTube here is the most-watched Afrikaans series on Showmax since the platform's relaunch in 2024.
It follows five powerhouse mothers who are redefining modern motherhood: Ansu Viljoen, Crystal van der Burgh, Johandri Johnson, Louise Volschenk and Tessa Tullues.
Neutral like SwitzerlandHaving hosted Love Island South Africa , Leandie is familiar with reality TV drama . In an interview with Showmax, she says being chosen as host is always an honour.
I feel truly privileged to be trusted with these women's hearts and vulnerability. It takes a lot to put yourself out there on TV, and I hope to highlight their strengths, not just the negatives that the public might be focusing on right now, she adds.
Leandie has prepared to host the show by knowing its content inside-out and working closely with the production team and director. Most importantly, shes going in with an open heart and truly listening.
When you listen to understand rather than to judge, your response comes from the heart, not the head, and that's where the magic lies, the talented actress explains, suggesting that she will be neutral like Switzerland.
