Mzansi Magic prepares to premiere the highly anticipated reality show, Mgidi Moms, a first-of-its-kind show that explores the Xhosa right of passage.

Hosted by Moshe Ndiki, the show will explore the coming-of-age journey of Xhosa boys as they transition into manhood through initiation, seen through the eyes of the mothers who support them every step of the way.

The show will shine a light on one of the most sacred rites of passage in Xhosa culture, where it will offer 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.

In each episode, the former BONA cover star will introduce a new zibazana, the mother of the initiate who is preparing for the life-changing moment. Viewers will be granted an opportunity to 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.

The series showcases a diverse range of mothers. Some go all out to mark the occasion with elaborate celebrations, while others choose a more traditional and understated approach. Despite their different styles, they are united by a shared commitment to family, culture, and their sons’ futures.
