In her first revelation since leaving the stage during the second part of The moms club season two reunion, Ms. Sande talks about her experience.
Sande joined the show this season as a new addition alongside Nozipho Ntshangase.
Throughout the show, viewers criticized her for being boring, with some saying she shouldn’t come back if The moms club is ordered for a third season.

She may have gotten choked up by her emotions and left the stage to collect herself during the second part of the Mommy Club season two reunion, but Jabulile “Mrs. Sande” Sande, reality TV star is sure she didn’t do too badly at her first rodeo.

“It wasn’t easy. I knew there were so many questions that would come my way because of the way certain things were done on the show. During my time on the show, I was very curious, I I was trying to dig deep and I was trying to “I discovered things. It may have offended people, but for my first reunion, I think I did well,” she said of her experience.

Ms Sande added: “I feel like I was targeted because of the things I said. However, everyone was shady to some extent, and because I didn’t want to be confrontational, I I gave up.”

Ms Sande, who joined the show alongside Nozipho Ntshangase, was criticized throughout the series for being boring. Some viewers also said she should not return if The Mommy Club was ordered for a third season.

Sande, 40, said the same Ntshangase, who made headlines this season for her marital problems, shocked her “when she chased me at the reunion”.

“I was so shocked; I couldn’t believe it because we’ve always been nice to each other,” she said.

During the reunion, Ntshangase called on Ms Sande to “own her sh*t” as she answered whether she and co-star Ratile Mabitsela had built their friendship on Her Majesty. She ended up breaking down and then had a panic attack when host Ntombee Ngcobo-Mzolo asked her why she wanted to go on the show.

“This experience taught me to think before saying anything. Be calm, be the person you are, and don’t let situations change who you are. I’m learning about myself, and this has helped me brought to introspection and these are the things that I I’m going to carry it on a daily basis, so it’s been a great learning experience,” she said.

On what she thought about Mabitsela not coming to her defense on the show or comforting her when she was criticized for standing by him even in his absence, Sande said she was ” shocked.”

“I expected her to come to my aid because during the season I defended her, and even when I broke down, she didn’t comfort me,” she said. “The person comforting me was Mrs. Mops, which I didn’t expect because I said some things about her, but at that moment she dropped everything and came to my side.”

In a heart-to-heart during one of their getaways, Ms Mops confided to Ms Sade that her house in Waterkloof in Pretoria was almost being sold. However, the conversation did not end between them and was discussed by Sande, Mabitsela and Nunurai Mudarikwa when they met for lunch.

Ms Sande admitted she regretted chatting with the two men about what Ms Mops had shared with her.

“As women we have to uplift each other, and in that moment I didn’t do her right because today it’s her, and tomorrow it could have been me, so I “I wish I had handled it better,” she said.

Another co-star she regretted about how things turned out was Her Majesty, adding that they were now building a friendship and understanding each other better.

“I’m building a friendship with Her Majesty and Ms. Mops; we go out outside of the show and they have been very kind to me,” Ms. Sande said.

After attributing some of her actions on the show to her suffering from depression and anxiety, she said she spoke out about it to show people there was light at the end of the tunnel.

“You have to know your limits and know when it’s time to take a break and prioritize yourself,” she said.

Part 3 of the reunion will be available to stream starting Monday, June 17. Sande is expected to return and face the music alongside her co-stars.
