Mgidi Moms S1 (Reality Series)
Mzansi Magic | Sunday, 29 March | 18:00
Deeply rooted in one of the most sacred rites of passage in Xhosa culture, Mgidi Moms offers a fresh perspective on a tradition that has long been guided by men. Initiation remains a respected and significant cultural practice, and the role of mothers in preparing for, honouring, and celebrating this milestone continues to grow. Their involvement reflects love, pride, and a deep respect for heritage.
Hosted by The Queen actor and 2020 DStv Viewers’ Choice Award winner for Best TV Presenter, Moshe Ndiki, each episode introduces a new zibazana, the mother of the initiate who is preparing for the life-changing moment. Viewers will follow their journey from the early stages of planning through to the emotional send-off, gaining insight into the care, strength and resilience that define motherhood during this pivotal time.
