Discontinuing 'The Real Housewives of Durban,' Nonku Williams Cites Personal Development

 

'The Real Housewives of Durban' (RHOD), a popular reality TV show and business venture, has formally announced Nonku Williams' exit from the show. On Sunday, June 1, 2025, Williams posted the news on her Instagram account, shocking her fan base and leaving many in shock. Williams stated that she would not be going to the much-anticipated reunion or returning for the next season. The influencer and businesswoman spoke candidly about the tough choice in an emotional message, pointing to a significant gap between her on-screen identity.

 

"It's not an easy choice, but it's one I must make," Williams wrote. "Watching myself on screen, I'm confronted with a reality that's hard to accept. The woman I see isn't someone I recognise or respect."

She also acknowledged that she contributed to the development of her on-screen persona, but she underlined the dynamics of the show."I've played a role in shaping this narrative, but l'm also a product of the show's dynamics. The relentless pursuit of drama, the pitting of women against each other, the gossip, and the put-downs - it's a toxic cycle that wears me down."

Williams stated that she wanted to be a good example and put her mental health and general well-being first.

 "As I look to the future, I'm reminded of my responsibilities - to myself, my children, my faith, and the community," she stated. " want to make a difference, to leave a positive mark on the world. But this show, with its destructive tendencies, isn't the platform for that."

She extended her gratitude to her supporters, acknowledging their unwavering encouragement throughout her journey on the show. "To those who've supported me throughout this journey, I'm grateful. I acknowledge my part in the chaos, but I also recognize the show's role in shaping our narratives."
