Popular media personality MaBlerh will host the reunion special for This Body Works For Me’s second season, local streaming platform Showmax has confirmed today. The special, set to air on 23 February 2024, Bubbly, Diamond, Dione Xanthe, Gina, Lebo, Primadonna and Wandi get into all of the drama that unfolded during the show’s latest season.
“I am a big fan of the show, so when the opportunity came for me to host the reunion for the second season of This Body Works For Me, I grabbed it with both hands,” says MaBlerh. “Any chance I get to facilitate real conversations, I am more than happy to participate and get to the crux of any issue. There are so many things that happened this season and it would be a disservice for me not to get into them.”
MaBlerh is no stranger to the role, having hosted reunions for the likes of The Real Housewives of Durban, Gqeberha and Johannesburg. “I am a very liberal person so my approach is simple: I am going to treat this reunion just like any other reunion. I am going to ask the hard questions,” he says.
“Going into this reunion, I want to give the ladies a chance to clarify things that have happened on and off the show,” says MaBlerh. “I want them to own the things they have said and done. I am going to hold the cast accountable while giving them the freedom to express themselves in any way they want to.”
“The reason we chose MaBlerh is because he is not afraid of any conversation; no conversation is off limits for him,” says Zinzi Velelo Alake, POP24 executive producer. “This season has been very eventful and MaBlerh is the perfect fit for these strong ladies because, firstly, he is a fan of the show and secondly, he is an experienced conversation curator who can lead the conversation and make the ladies comfortable, while holding them accountable and asking all the tough questions viewers want answers to.”
This Body Works For Me is the first Showmax reality show from POP24, which paved the way for Bae Beyond Borders, the record-breaking hit The Mommy Club, and Kwa Mam’Mkhize, which is currently streaming.
