Welcome to the glamorous life of Johannesburg’s socialites, where money isn’t a problem – the problem is spending it on Showmax reality show Diamond & Dolls.
CRAIG FALCK
Diamond in the rough

If you’ve ever wondered how Johan-nesburg’s most infamous socialites live and where they hang out, look no further because Showmax’s new local six-part reality show Diamond & Dolls gives viewers front row seats to their lives. Lead star, musician and social media influencer Tebogo Ramokgadi spills the tea on his reality show that features four of his besties, who he affectionately calls “Dolls” as they tag along on the journey to fame and fortune. There’s award-winning nightclub promoter Inno Morolong, nightclub hostess Eva Modika, soccer star manager Lumi Jemma and fashion blogger Lolo Mlunjwana.

The Diamond and Dolls fly first-class to private holiday destinations, they throw the wildest parties at exclusive venues, and their closets are filled with expensive fashion brands. But expect drama as their dinner parties end in chaos and the friends never miss a chance for bickering and yelling at each other. “We set the tone on how to dress and party in the City of Gold. It’s opulence at its best,” explains Tebogo, who refers to himself as the Mayor of Sandton. “We bring the glitz, glam and champagne lifestyle. We don’t hold back on the drama either. So expect explosive moments from this group of friends, Darling,” adds Tebogo. The reality TV star and creator of Diamond & Dolls shares what it took to bring his 10-year vision to life.

So you refer to yourself as the Mayor of Sandton?
