South African reality TV star Nandipha Mlombi, better known as Queen Nandi, has once again found herself at the centre of a media storm following her dramatic eviction from a luxurious Lonehill mansion on June 29.
The Pastors’ Wives star’s emotional Facebook Live video, where she claimed an illegal eviction, went viral, igniting fierce debates across social media platforms.
However, Milagro Concepts, the production company behind Queen Nandi’s latest reality show, has stepped forward to confirm the details of the rental agreement, providing clarity on the contentious saga.
Emotional Facebook meltdown
In the viral video, a visibly shaken Queen Nandi alleged she was forcibly removed from the mansion by “thugs” sent by landlord Vuyiseka Mfeqeka, whom she accused of misrepresenting ownership of the property.
“I didn’t know she was hijacking the building,” Nandi claimed, asserting she had paid rent through a supposed real estate agent.
The footage captured men removing her belongings while her children were reportedly locked inside. This prompted Nandi to plead for police intervention, stating, “We have been calling cops to no avail”.
The incident, which unfolded on June 29, follows a pattern of high-profile controversies for Nandi. She previously made headlines for disputes with the Bedfordview Methodist Church. Her husband, Reverend Mawuzole Mlombi, was removed from the church’s leadership in 2024.
Previously evicted from church house
That year, the couple faced another eviction from a church mission house. Nandi also publicised it on social media, citing “power struggles” within the church.
A representative of Milagro Concepts issued a statement to Sunday World.
“Milagro Concepts can confirm that Nandi was shooting with our production. And the rental agreement to shoot at the home was from April 14, 2025, to May 25, 2025. Production has since wrapped,” read the statement.
The representative emphasized that the agreement was explicitly for filming purposes. It had a fixed end date, aligning with claims made by the landlord, Vuyiseka Mfeqeka.
The production company’s statement corroborates Mfeqeka’s account. In her own Facebook Live video, Mfeqeka denied Nandi’s allegations of wrongdoing. Known as “Sis Vee,” Mfeqeka explained clarified the matter.
Filming contract expired
“She asked if she could bring in some of her furniture to make it seem like her home. She was supposed to be out on June 7, but she does not want to leave,” said Mfeqeka.
Mfeqeka maintained that she legally owns the property and had involved the police to enforce the eviction. This as the eight-week rental period for filming had expired.
Colonel Dimakatso Nevhuhulwi of Bedfordview SAPS stated there was no record of the incident at the station.
