The Real Housewives of Durban (RHOD) reality star Nonku Williams, along with seven other South African housewives, will feature in The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip, which was shot in Jamaica.
Williams expressed that being one of the longest-serving housewives in Africa is an honour and that she believes she has grown over the years.
“If you look at the first season of The Real Housewives of Durban and the fourth season, which is currently airing, you will see the growth.
“I have gone through many things, ups and downs, and I am so grateful to Showmax and my fans, who have stood by me through the good, the bad, and the ugly,” Williams said.
Becoming a better person
She said the way she looks at life now is not the same as when she started her reality television journey.
“It has helped me to look at myself honestly and shown me the things that I had to work on and improve about myself to become a better person.
“The thing about reality is that it shows you things that you might not have been aware of; it literally forces you to face things that you would not have normally addressed.
“That has helped me grow as a daughter, mother, sister, and friend.”
She cited some differences between filming RHOD and the Ultimate Girls Trip, stating that filming RHOD can be intense because there is a lot of history there.
Ultimate Girls Trip cast members
“So much has happened between us, and it gets too real. With the Ultimate Girls Trip, it was different and fun.
“The ladies were down to have a good time and connect. Without revealing too much, I will say that the ladies on the Ultimate Girls Trip are very different from the ones on RHOD.
“In this space, I was introduced to ladies who I did not know before, so it was like starting with a clean slate and building new relationships.
“For the first time in a while, people experienced me as I am, and I made genuine friendships.”
She said the one thing she regrets about being a housewife is bringing people on the show, which has always backfired because they end up turning against her.
The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: South Africa dream cast includes Beverly Steyn (The Real Housewives of Cape Town S1), Christall Kay (The Real Housewives of Johannesburg S1-S2), LaConco (The Real Housewives of Durban S1-S2), Lethabo Lejoy Mathatho (The Real Housewives of Johannesburg S2-S3), Liz Prins (The Real Housewives of Gqeberha S1), Londie London (The Real Housewives of Durban S2), and Melany Viljoen (The Real Housewives of Pretoria S1).
