TshilaLIVE reports that Pheladi's decision was influenced by seeing how people on the show and behind the scenes had "agendas" that they worked towards, whether they aligned with everybody's or not:

"People have their own agendas. Also, we, as the cast, come in with our own agendas. Production has agendas for whatever they want to achieve, the audience and the media have their own agendas too."
"It's unfortunate. It's not a space where I have control. I like to be in a position where I can control."

Meanwhile, another member of the cast, Mrs J, told Briefly News that she hopes everyone resolves their issues with those they clashed with:

"I would like to use the reunion as an opportunity to address what needs to be addressed fully. As mothers, I hope we can iron out our differences and see if there’s a way forward.”

Rosette Ncwana chats about joining The Mommy Club

Another new face we got to experience on The Mommy Club was the fabulous Rosette Ncwana, who, Like Pheladi, joined in season three.

The famed supermodel and entrepreneur said she wanted to showcase her versatility:

"As someone who is in the spotlight, it’s easy for people to see only one dimension of who I am. I wanted to be part of something authentic that connects with people."

Ncwana also said she learned a lot about herself while being on the show, lessons that became invaluable:

"I learned that I’m capable of handling more than I give myself credit for. Filming showed me that I can be flexible and also firm in what I stand for. I can be strong in tough situations while also embracing the moments that make me feel vulnerable. Both sides of me are important."
