Relebogile Mabotja is no stranger to the spotlight. From radio to television, she has built a reputation for her sharp intellect, commanding presence and the gift of making the most delicate conversations feel like home.
But in her latest Showmax series, Untied, in which she is host and associate producer, she shifts the spotlight off herself and onto the experiences of women navigating the messy terrain of separation, heartbreak and healing. The result is raw, riveting and deeply human.
The show features Beverly Steyn, Nonku Williams, Dawn Thandeka King, Mona Monyane, Palesa Madisakwane, Zandi Nhlapo and Sonia Booth.
We meet through a video call. Its one of those afternoon meetings that feel more like a catch-up with a cousin than a formal interview.
Before we dive into the depths of the show, I have to get this out of the way: the outfits in Untied? Absolutely breathtaking. Oh, thank you, she beams. I wish I could take credit, but theres an amazing stylist behind that. They made sure everything was perfect.
