Gagasi FM breakfast show co-host Minenhle “Minnie” Ntuli is back on air after a brief time-out to “seek professional counselling to address her emotional responses”.
Ntuli verbally and physically assaulted Real Housewives of Durban co-star Londiwe “Londie London” Zulu during the shooting of one of the final episodes.
Ntuli received backlash for bullying the influencer on several occasions, implying she was a “gold digger” and accusing her of “working on her back”.
The presenter returned to her radio show on Gagasi FM as if she had never left. Felix Hlophe, her co-host, did not bring up the saga, and Ntuli continued her usual banter and jokes.
Before Gagasi FM took her off the air, she sent out a statement apologising for her behaviour.
“I’ve had to come face to face with the impact of my actions on The Real Housewives of Durban,” Ntuli wrote in her apology.
“Watching the show back has been deeply confronting – I’m appalled by how I behave, and I take full accountability for the role I played.”
Londie London takes legal action
Despite the apology, Londie London took legal action.
In a letter from her legal team at Lamula KB Attorneys, they stated that Ntuli defamed their client, and the matter could not go unattended.
“It is our instruction that during the second episode of the reunion aired on July 11, 2025, you assaulted our client unprovoked and continued to do so even when she was not physically responding to your assault,” the legal team stated.
A petition led by Palesa Machaba, a fan of Londie London, asked the station to permanently remove Ntuli from hosting the radio show.
Gagasi FM said the radio station had engaged Ntuli, who took responsibility for her actions and expressed her “deep regret”.
Khulekani Shandu, the spokesperson for Gagasi FM, confirmed to Sunday World the return of Ntuli to the radio station. “She came back on air this morning,” said Gagasi FM.
