Gagasi FM has stated that the actions of "The Real Housewives of Durban" co-star and Gagasi FM radio presenter, Minentle 'Minnie' Ntuli, left the station 'shocked' and 'disappointed.'
Ntuli co-hosts the morning show "The Uprising" alongside reality star Felix Hlophe.
The station's statement follows a heated moment on the recent two-part reunion episode of the reality TV show, where an unseen clip was aired showing Ntuli in an argument with fellow cast member Londie London.
In the video, the confrontation between London and Ntuli escalated when Ntuli took offence to London's question about her upbringing, feeling it was a personal attack on her parents.
The situation intensified as Ntuli threw a cushion and approached London, accusing her of disrespecting her parents and 'dishonouring' them. This followed London asking her who raised her, as she has shown a lack of respect for others.

The exchange turned heated, with Ntuli hurling insults and aggressively poking London in the forehead, which left her in disbelief.
Despite the provocation, London remained calm, labeling Ntuli as 'horrible' and a 'bully' and questioning her behaviour.

Ntuli and London's feud had been one of the many dramatic things that have been happening on this season of the show and entertained viewers.
The palpable tension between the two had fans glued to their screens every week to see what would happen next.
'Like many of our listeners and members of the public, we were shocked and disappointed by what we saw."
'While 'The Real Housewives of Durban' is an independent production and separate from Gagasi FM, we acknowledge that Minnie's conduct on the show has had an impact on both our brand and the community we serve."
'In previous seasons, we have seen other cast members on the show engage in moments of conflict and even attempted physical confrontations. What gives us hope is that, in many of these instances, reconciliation has been possible, and relationships have been mended,' the radio station stated.

According to the station, "Ntuli had fully owned up to her actions, offered a sincere apology, and penned a letter of regret to the production company and cast members of the show."
Additionally, the station affirmed it was against bullying, aggression and disrespect.
Gagasi FM stated that Ntuli was committed to seeking professional assistance to better manage her emotions, and the station expressed support for her decision.
'Our focus is on promoting reconciliation. Both Minnie and the other cast members are professionals in the media industry, and it is likely they will work together again in future."
'As a station, we are committed to supporting a process that encourages healing, forgiveness, and mutual respect,' they said.
Ntuli had also previously responded with her own statement after the episode aired, reflecting on her actions after watching the show.
'Watching the show back has been deeply confronting. I am appalled by how I behaved, and I take full accountability for the role I played."
I want to sincerely apologise to the affected cast members. I know my actions hurt others, and for that, I am truly sorry. I have reached out to them privately and publicly, and I remain committed to making amends, including having face-to-face conversations if and when they are open to it,' she wrote.
