Durban’s most glamorous and cutthroat Housewives are back, and this season, the claws are out!
The ‘Real Housewives of Durban’ returns for season 5 with familiar faces and three brand-new queens ready to shake things up. If you thought last season was messy, just wait.
In an exclusive first-look clip, Nonku Williams bares her soul, praying for guidance and hinting at an emotional rollercoaster ahead. “God is a God of second chances. I’ve messed up in the past, but God always has his arms open,” she says, setting the stage for a season full of tension and drama.
Returning to reclaim their crowns are Nonku, Sorisha Naidoo (Africa’s longest-serving Housewife), Jojo Robinson, and Angel Ndledla. But the real question remains – how will the newcomers fit in, or will they bulldoze their way to the top?
