Kwanele Kubeka says she’s proud of her messy union
Newcomer to The Real Housewives of Durban, Kwanele Kubeka, is breaking the mold—and she’s doing it on her own terms.
At just 30, the socialite and reality TV star is pushing past curated perfection to give fans a raw and unfiltered look into her life, including the realities of her marriage.
In a refreshing dose of honesty, Kwanele isn’t pretending things are picture-perfect behind closed doors.
“For me, it was really important to be open and honest. As a couple, we have faced challenges like anyone else. It is easy to put on a perfect façade for the world to see, but I wanted to show the real us,” she revealed.
Her decision to be vulnerable on camera wasn’t made lightly. She’s fully aware of how powerful honesty can be, especially in a world obsessed with flawless social media feeds.
“Life is about authenticity, and I believe that’s what makes it so relatable. We are not perfect, but we are navigating it all together. My hope is that by sharing our story, we can encourage others to be honest about their own struggles and know they are not alone.”
Since joining RHOD, Kwanele admits her online presence has been under a microscope.
What used to be a personal space for sharing interests and moments from her everyday life is now a high-traffic zone for public scrutiny.
“It feels like the spotlight is always on me. The scrutiny is intense. Every post, every comment, every story gets analysed and critiqued. It’s been a wild ride. But I’m doing my best to stay true to myself and not let other people’s opinions dictate my online presence,” she said.
