Boity's mother, Modiehi Thulo, stole the show thanks to her bubbly personality and youthful looks.
"She's absolutely gorgeous. Omotle. Osassy. Love her," one viewer wrote.
Boity and her mom have a very close relationship and even wear each other's clothes - well, more like Modiehi "steals" her daughter's clothes.

Boity, who is a trained traditional healer, introduced viewers to her spiritual mentor, Gogo Dineo.
Many people thought Gogo Dineo looked like Brenda Fassie.
"I think gogo Dineo and Brenda fassie are spiritually related," one tweep wrote.

Boity's dog, Asante, also made an appearance on the show. Viewers noted that the Pomeranian was living a better life than the average South Africa.
"Asante Thulo is a legit cheese dog, die baby eats eggs..He/She is the Blue Ivy of dogs," one Twitter user commented.
Asante even has her own Instagram account, which she now shares with the new addition to the family - her baby sister Sana.
Sana was a Christmas gift from Boity's mother.
