‘I don't think Her Majesty's apology was sincere' – Noksie on The Mommy Club reunion

Season three of The Mommy Club has officially ended.
By far, this was the most controversial season the mommies have had.
Not only were feuds and insults hurled, but there were also divisions.
The reunion which was hosted by TV presenter, actress and singer Ntombee Ngcobo-Mzolo, were no different as they brought on confrontations and tears.
Emotions ran high, nothing was sugar-coated, and every issue viewers have been buzzing about was laid bare. From Pheladi's absence and Mrs Sande's emotional state to the bullying accusations that sparked serious conversations online, the ladies didn't hold back.
One of the biggest moments of the reunion came when Season 3 newcomer Mrs J stormed out after a heated exchange with Vuyi, leaving everyone gagged. While there were apologies and attempts to move forward, it's clear that not all wounds have healed, and where their relationships stand now is everyone's guess.
Noksie, who has been at the centre of the biggest feud of the season, didn't shy away from spilling tea, sharing her thoughts on what really went down at the reunion, how she feels about the other ladies, her celebrity fans and more.

Reflecting on her time on the show, she says it wasn't what she expected.
'I went in thinking I'd be surrounded by empowered, thriving boss babes, women glowing from the inside out. Instead, I found myself among people carrying a lot of hurt and sadness, which was honestly quite disheartening.'
Going into the show, the mother of one aimed to increase her brand visibility as a real estate agent. At the very least, she has achieved her goal.
'I'm really happy that sellers are now approaching me directly, which has made things easier for my real estate business.'
Despite knowing that she doesn't thrive in group settings, she has been shown love and support by the public with some people even calling her the breakout star of the season.
Now, everywhere she goes, she's recognised and showered with words of appreciation.
'I've had quite a few well-known people reach out to me, and it's been so heartwarming. One of them is the incredible Khanyi Mbau. What a queen! I'm truly grateful.'
After the explosive reunion, Noksie has stayed in touch with Mrs J, who's been her day one, unlike Pheladi.

'As for the rest of the ladies, even though apologies were exchanged at the reunion, they're still not people I'd keep close. That said, I genuinely wish them all the best,' she adds.
Most of the cast members were dissatisfied with a lot of production decisions, as Mrs J went as far as storming out of the reunion because her children's scene did not make it to the final product, nor were they invited to the reunion like Vuyi and Her Majesty's daughters.
Other cast members accused the production company of twisting their arms and words to suit an unpleasant narrative.
To that, Noksie says they were merely doing their job.

'The production team is simply doing their job. They have their mandate, just like the cast does. Their role is to showcase what was filmed. It's really simple: if you don't want to be perceived in a certain way, don't behave that way. While we were shooting, I kept wondering if they realised this would eventually air. That's when it became clear to me that they didn't seem to care much about their image. Their main focus was bringing me down, without thinking about how their behaviour would reflect on them in the end.'
Apologies flew across the room at the reunion. Some were accepted and some were dug out from deep holes.
Although she was introduced to the group by Her Majesty, she doesn't believe the mother of three's apology was genuine.
'I don't think that her apology was sincere, but I just wanted to move on and move away.'
To the new mommies who could be joining The Mommy Club in season four, she advises them to be themselves.
'My advice to the new mommy joining the show would be to simply be yourself. That's the most powerful thing you can be. Your tribe will naturally gravitate toward you, and those who aren't meant for you will fall away, just as they should.'
