Evodia Mogase Was Once Homeless and Had Nothing

Before her hard work forced the gates of good fortunes to open for her, Mogase had passed through a very difficult phase in her life. She was married to a man, whose name was never released, as far back as the 1990s. When they got married, her husband was not financially stable, and so she helped him in starting up a panel beating company in Limpopo.

Unfortunately for her, when the tides turned in favor of her then-husband, he started cheating on her with various girls. She caught him several times in the process, and she soon got tired of everything. It was at this point that she decided to throw away the marriage. Hence, Evodia Mogase filed for divorce in 2009 after 15 years of marriage.

When the divorce process was completed, she found herself poor and homeless. She left her husband’s home with nothing but the clothes she was wearing and no place to go. Her parents had no problem having her back home, but she was not willing to return. The reality star started afresh and lived in the caravans for two years before her hard work started to pay and a new path formed for her.

Her Various Business Ventures Contributed to Her $2 Million Net Worth

As stated, the $2 million net worth of Evodia Mogase was not something she built in a single day. She took on many jobs before she founded her business and then made an entry into the world of showbiz before she made her wealth.

The former Real Housewives of Johannesburg (RHOJ) cast member had her education from the University of Limpopo, from where she got her BA degree. After she was through with her education, she decided to follow the teaching line, but after only a year, she decided to quit and follow other ventures.

Her first business was a catering service, in which she poured out all her might. Her mother assisted her in starting the business with start-up capital and 75 plates. It only took her five months in the business before things started changing for the good for her when she got a five-year contract with Eskom. This opened doors for even more contracts.

Shortly after she started recording success in her first business, she realized there was money to be made in the cleaning business. She soon joined in, and again found out that there was a huge gap in vegetation management. A goal-getter that she has always been, Madam decided to go and study environmental management. It equipped her with the skills to join men in working in the field.

She has continued working with Eskom more than three decades later. Evodia Mogase said it is Eskom that has made her. Back in 2018, she revealed that she had her eyes set on starting her own panel beating company, something she had once helped her former husband to start in Limpopo. She is interested in starting the business because she is in love with cars.

Her Successful Career As A Reality TV Star Has Also Added To Her Fortune

Evodia Mogase became a big name in South Africa in 2018 after she made an appearance on the 1Magic reality TV show, Real Housewives of Johannesburg (RHOJ) alongside her daughter, Mercy Mogase. Although she was one of the most beloved characters on the show, she only lasted a season before she left, refusing to sign for the second season.

The Queen of Versace as she is fondly called by followers of the show because of how she always flaunts the brand, announced that she was leaving the show to pursue other endeavors. She also left along with her daughter. Evodia and Mercy teamed up to start their own reality TV show, Madam & Mercy, which launched on ShowMax in 2020.

The show highlights the relationship between the duo, as well as their achievements and story, among other things. According to Madam, she was inspired by the Kardashians to start the reality TV show. Her show is not the biggest, but it’s relatively successful, and it has gained fair reception. Nonetheless, what she made from the show, as well as on RHOJ, was never revealed.
