More than 53 000 people have signed a petition calling for the removal of media personality Minnie Ntuli from radio and television.
The petition, hosted on Change.org, had reached 53 151 signatures at the time of reporting.
Ntuli, who's a radio host on Gagasi FM, has faced public backlash following her behaviour on The Real Housewives of Durban, where she allegedly bullied fellow cast member Londie London.
According to Change.org, the petition aims to hold public figures accountable.
It calls on 'relevant broadcasters and regulatory bodies to investigate the matter seriously and transparently' and to enforce stricter guidelines for media personalities regarding respectful conduct.

Minnie Ntuli apologises for her behaviour
Ntuli has since released a statement apologising for her behaviour on the reality show.
'Watching the show back has been deeply confronting. I am appalled by how I behaved, and I take full accountability,' she said.
She apologised to the affected cast members and said she had reached out to them both publicly and privately.
'I've also taken time to engage with Gagasi FM management regarding the negative attention my participation in the show has brought to the station. While my work on radio and my presence on the show are two separate platforms, both Gagasi FM and I agree that it is important I take accountability.'
Gagasi FM has also released a statement in response to Ntuli's altercation on The Real Housewives of Durban.
'While the show is independent from Gagasi FM, we acknowledge that Minnie's conduct has had an impact on both our brand and the community we serve,' the station said.
Gagasi FM added that Ntuli has shown remorse, issued an apology to the production company and cast members, and is committed to receiving professional support to manage her emotional responses.
'As a station, we are committed to supporting a process that encourages healing, forgiveness, and mutual respect. We assure our listeners, clients, and partners that we are treating this matter with the seriousness and care it deserves.'
Meanwhile, Londie London announced at the end of The Real Housewives of Durban reunion episode on Friday that she will be taking legal action against Ntuli.

Calven Robinson's glow-up: Jojo's 'boo bear' takes the plunge into cosmetic surgery
Jojo Robinson takes followers inside Calven Robinson's cosmetic surgery as she reveals his new look. Image: Instagram "The Real Housewives of Durban" star Jojo Robinson and her husband Calven Robinson have proven that nothing screams couple goals like both going under the knife for transformative facelifts and a more youthful and appealing look. Calven, affectionately known as 'Boo bear', recently underwent a blepharoplasty and eyebrow lift to fix his problematic eyesight, revealing a whole new, wrinkle-free face, courtesy of Jojo's surgeon, Dr Paul McGarr. Jojo recently updated her Instagram followers on her husband's new look and recovery after his surgery. 'He had a blepharoplasty and an eyebrow lift cut on the actual eyebrow to help open his eyes,' Jojo wrote on her Instagram story. According to experts, the surgical procedure involves modifying the eyelids to improve their appearance and functionality. Video Player is loading.

The surgery helps with issues such as excess skin or fat around the eyes and difficulty seeing due to sagging eyelids. As a bonus? 'Boo bear' has a more youthful and refreshed appearance as well as improved vision. A screenshot from Jojo Robinson's Instagram stories. Image: Instagram/@ The reality star, too, has been no stranger to cosmetic surgery. In 2024, she swopped all the fillers in her face for a permanent face and neck lift, which was not her first cosmetic procedure. Before that, she had a brachioplasty, also known as arm lift surgery; all the procedures she has undergone have amounted to more than R800 000. It appears facelifts and other cosmetic procedures have become a go-to quick fix for high-ranking celebrities like 'momager' Kris Jenner and Khanyi Mbau, opting for surgical rejuvenation to maintain their youthful glow. Jenner's facelift is one for the books. Her transformation left many jaws on the floor and has her looking more like one of the Kardashians and Jenner siblings than their mother. She went from wrinkles to a completely snatched face. Mbau, on the other hand, had a subnasal lip lift and blepharoplasty procedure done, which, according to Dr Alek Nikolic, is a small surgical procedure that removes excess upper lip skin that elongates when ageing takes place. During a lip lift procedure, the upper lip is shortened and sutured back to the area beneath the nose, causing the lip to slightly turn outward and creating the appearance of increased fullness.
