Okay, reality TV lovers, brace yourselves: Nonku Williams might not return to the next season of Real Housewives of Durban. This news has fans in a twist, and let’s face it—love her or hate her, Nonku is the timeless queen of drama!
From epic showdowns to heartfelt moments, Nonku has become a permanent fixture in RHOD since Season 1. The reality show star even managed to pull in major headlines and trend on social media regularly.
Nonku Williams is no stranger to drama. Remember how she and Ayanda Ncwane were constantly at each other’s throats in the first season? It all started because they both have kids with the late S’fiso Ncwane — talk about unavoidable drama!
As the seasons rolled on, Nonku grappled with her alcohol issues, and her friendship—or rather, lack thereof—with Mabusi crashed and burned. In the latest season, Nonku and Slee took up the mantle of frenemies, with their fiery exchanges setting social media ablaze.
When it was revealed that Nonku might not return for the next season, fans were left in a tailspin. Twitter and Facebook exploded with reactions.
Many viewers complained that, while Nonku wasn’t without her faults, she was undeniably the heart of the show. Some have even sworn off RHOD if she doesn’t make a comeback, convinced that the show would lose its spark without her.
Nonku is weird but she really nails reality TV. It’s gonna be boring without her😭 https://t.co/WqRgrXjYX9

I would prefer Nonku returns. While for Slee it is high time she took a bow from the show. https://t.co/UzyByUgzv7

Say what you will Nonku not on that cast for #RHOD fans to either love or hate passionately will spell death to this leg of the franchise.
Case in point
S1 – Nonku and Ayanda
S2 – Nonku and alcohol and RD
S3 – Nonku and Slee https://t.co/QP57EHla3H— Tshiamo (@Miss__TC) August 12, 2024
Nonku is fun and for those who have watched The Real Housewives Atlanta over the years, where the franchise started you’d concur that Nonku had content and is giving reality TV material.

With this potential shake-up, fans and critics alike are left wondering: Can the Real Housewives of Durban survive without its queen of drama? Or is Nonku Williams’ departure the beginning of the end?
What we do know is if Nonku bows out, she’ll leave a gaping hole in the drama department that will be hard to fill. Until then, fans will be crossing their fingers and holding their collective breath.
