Nonku Williams and Jojo rekindle their friendship
The reality TV stars have had viewers interested in their friendship since season 2 when Jojo joined the cast and they were dubbed 'Joku'. However, their friendship showed cracks after Nonku said they were merely friends for the show and she didn't feel they had a real connection.
During part 2 of the reunion episode aired recently, Jojo said she was confused about why they had a fallout and said she hadn't heard from Nonku for a month.
Jojo broke down on Instagram about their friendship, saying they had blocked each other on social media.
After a backlash from social media users, Nonku took to Instagram apologising to Jojo and their followers, saying they recently spoke.
'I never intended to denounce our friendship or diminish the value Jojo has brought to my life. As many may know, in reality TV a lot of things can be taken out of context to make a 'spicy show' and my statement was taken out of context and blown out of proportion. I'd like to clarify what I meant,' she said.
'I apologise for using the words 'surface level' when referring to my friendship with Jojo. I was in no way speaking about the love or bond we share. That was never my intention.'
On Thursday the two stars reunited.
They took to Instagram in a joint post showing they met at the beach.
'Round 2" they captioned the post.

Is it safe? Cape Town influencer swims into weird ocean foam and the internet reacts
TikTok sensation Michelle Sky Hayward dives into Cape Town's murky waters, sparking a wave of reactions online. Image: TikTok TikTok user and content creator Michelle Sky Hayward leaves netizens scratching their heads after taking a deep dive into what seems like bubbling sewer water. Generally, most people know to steer clear of dodgy-looking water; however, Hayward seems to have taken the phrase 'diving into the unknown' quite literally. The content creator, who has since gone viral, shared a video of herself swimming in the mysterious-looking foamy water in Cape Town. 'I'm having so much fun, I literally don't even feel the cold,' she told the camera, moments before taking an unintentional gulp of the questionable water. Hayward then screamed and laughed after some water went into her mouth, saying it tasted 'salty'. Video Player is loading.

The adventurous fitness enthusiast has since posted a video on both Instagram and TikTok confirming that she is 'not an American tourist' and is a local to Cape Town, swimming in the sea 'at least once a week'. She said, 'I actually didn't smell anything when I went into the sea; it smelled like the normal ocean smells. 'I did notice that the water was super murky, and it is usually clear in that spot. There was also a lot of foam that I hadn't seen before. But I honestly loved the foam. I felt like I was in a bubble bath; it was so cool.' The video's comments section was filled with people baffled by the water's murky appearance. Viewers were quick to point out the obvious signs of questionable water quality, with many left wondering how Hayward didn't notice. 'I refuse to believe this is raw sewage and it doesn't have the worst smell … how did you not smell it?' asked @nsreemxx. 'As humans, we have a natural aversion to things that don't look or feel right. Even if they didn't know the exact reasoning, people would not want to get in this water upon seeing it. But I guess not everyone,' said @RedScarf.

340ml to headline another festival after returning to stage in 2025
The genre-defying collective will perform at the Corona Sunsets Festival in September. 340ml has headlined a few festivals in 2025. Before this they had last performed together 12 years ago. Picture: 340mlmusic/Instagram In sports, 2025 has been described as the year of the underdog. For music collective 340ml, the year has represented their return to the stage. Following their surprise mini Southern African tour in March this year, which saw them play in Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Maputo, 340ml was announced as the headliner for this year's Corona Sunsets Festival. Earlier this year, the band, comprising drummer Paulo Jorge Chibanga, guitarist Tiago Correia-Paulo, vocalist Pedro Pinto, and bassist Rui Soeiro, didn't want to confirm to The Citizen whether they would be performing together as a collective for the first time in 12 years. 'Hard to say at this stage. We're going to be totally focused on these first shows. They're the reason why we're doing this. No other agendas. But we might also be holding a few secrets… somewhere down the line,' shared Correia-Paulo in March. ALSO READ: 'No big game plans, just flow.

They teased their classic breakout hit Midnight in parts of their performance before performing the whole song later in their set, which the jovial crowd sang along to word for word. Excitement gripped the audience, which appeared to be comprised of South African black millennials, when the band played the opening riffs from Shotgun. 340ml headlined at the Eswatini festival, Bushfire, soon after the shows mentioned above.
