After an explosive reunion, The Real Housewives of Durban has officially overtaken The Mommy Club as the most-streamed reality series on Showmax this year, proving that the drama is more captivating than ever.
The Showmax Original reality series is consequently up for three prestigious awards at this weekend’s Simon Mabhunu Sabela KZN Film and Television Awards: Best TV Production (Let It Rain Films), Best Use of KZN as a Filming Location, and Best Use of Cinematography (Lee Thomas Doig).
On the show’s incredible success and drama, Glamour magazine noted:
“Season 5 of The Real Housewives of Durban delivered all the glitz, drama, and jaw-dropping moments fans have come to expect, only this time, the tension was dialled all the way up. From the fiery fallout between Minnie and Londie to the shocking dissolution of Joku, emotions ran high and alliances crumbled in real-time. Just when we thought we’d seen it all, the highly-anticipated reunion dropped, and let’s just say, no one was prepared.” ~ Glamour
In light of the dramatic season, Katlego Molubi recently caught up with Londie, who opened up about her side of the story, where she stands with the other ladies, and the overwhelming support she’s been receiving from fans.
Feelings on the Season Wrapping Up
I feel amazing. Returning to the show was such a fulfilling experience. Of course, there were a few challenges along the way, but the positives far outweighed the negatives. I’m genuinely grateful for the journey.
On the Minnie Argument in The Real Housewives of Durban
It was definitely surreal seeing that scene again. But honestly, I was proud of how I handled myself. I did not allow myself to be baited into anything that doesn’t reflect who I am. I always carry myself with intention: I’m a mother, a daughter, and a businesswoman. Therefore, maintaining my composure, even in a heated moment, was a big win for me.
Current Relationship Status with Minnie
No, but she did try to reach out via a text message, apologising in private, which is quite different from the statement she released. In truth, it is quite disappointing that I was humiliated in public, but I’m not getting a proper apology directed to me in public.
Key Lessons from The Real Housewives of Durban
Whew, where do I start? Unquestionably, this season reminded me just how strong I am. Life has thrown so much at me, but I always come out stronger. I’ve realised that I’m incredibly resilient and that I won’t be easily shaken by outside noise.
Returning to The Real Housewives of Durban?
Absolutely. I’ve always loved being part of The Real Housewives of Durban. It’s not just about the cameras; it’s about the real relationships I’ve built with some of the women. There’s genuine history and love there, and for this reason, I’d be open to continuing that journey.
A Message to Supporters
My heart is so full. The amount of love and support I’ve received has been truly overwhelming, in the best way possible. I’m so grateful to every single person who’s stood by me and sent messages of encouragement. I’ve never experienced this kind of warmth before, and I don’t take it for granted.
