Beverley Steyn Sues Ex-Friend Nonku Williams Over Unpaid Cash

Real Housewives fans woke up to major tea in the South African reality TV universe this week after Real Housewives of Cape Town’s own Beverley Steyn confirmed she’s taking legal action against former bestie and Real Housewives of Durban star Nonku Williams over unpaid money.

What started as a friendship fans adored has now turned into a full courtroom situation — and the internet is buzzing.

What Happened Between Beverley Steyn and Nonku?

According to reports, Beverley lent Nonku a significant sum of money, which was supposed to be paid back within 30 days under a signed agreement. But the repayment never came — and now Beverley says she’s had enough.

Beverley reportedly shared that Nonku initially asked for a massive R2 million, which she declined — but still trusted her with a hefty amount. That loan has now gone unpaid, and Beverley’s legal team has been instructed to start action, with summonses expected in Nonku’s area of Pinetown, Durban.

In a video posted online, Beverley declared she was “done” protecting Nonku’s reputation and covering up what went down behind the scenes, saying she’d been betrayed and used — and it’s now out in the open.

Fans React — From Shock to Full-Blown Entertainment Drama

Social media can’t stop talking about the fallout, especially given how close the pair once seemed. Many fans are calling it the biggest Real Housewives money drama yet, while others are speculating about how this will affect the wider franchise and their reputations.

Some commenters have even pointed out that this isn’t the first time Nonku has had money drama mentioned online — with previous stars like Sorisha Naidoo also having publicly discussed financial issues involving her.

For her part, Nonku hasn’t publicly addressed the lawsuit yet. Instead, she’s been posting photos with her new boyfriend and living her life in Cape Town while the legal storm brews.

Whether this will escalate into a televised courtroom showdown or simmer behind the scenes, one thing’s for sure: Real Housewives fans have all the content they ever wanted — and then some.
