‘I acknowledge my part in the chaos' – Nonku Williams quits RHOD
She's given us 5-star reality TV spec. From the very first season of the Real Housewives of Durban, she's topped headlines. Nonku Williams made an entry as the late gospel singer, Sfiso Ncwane's baby mama. At the time, Sfiso's widow, Ayanda, was one of the show's biggest stars. As expected, that took a wrong turn, putting the ladies against each other on the show, forcing Ayanda's hand in acknowledging her daughter and forging a relationship with their children who share a father. Before we knew it, she was back in the dating scene and embroiled in court orders and legal battles. Five seasons later, the reality TV star had risen to become Nonku Williams International and one of the OG's of the franchise in Africa.

Recently, viewers of the show pointed out how distasteful Nonku had become as she navigated her friendships on the show with some selfishness and manipulation. When asked a couple of questions to answer, Nonku said, 'I'm sorry I can't answer these questions'. Seemingly, she recognised her faults. 'As I take a moment to reflect on my journey with The Real Housewives of Durban, I'm compelled to share my truth with you. After much reflection, I've made the difficult decision not to return to the show and to distance myself from the reunion. It's not an easy choice, but it's one I must make. Watching myself on screen, I'm confronted with a reality that's hard to accept. The woman I see isn't someone I recognise or respect. I've played a role in shaping this narrative, but I'm also a product of the show's dynamics. The relentless pursuit of drama, the pitting of women against each other, the gossip, and the put-downs – it's a toxic cycle that wears me down,' Nonku took to her Instagram timeline. Every season, Nonku kicks off with promises of changing her ways and being a better, positive person who's recommitted to God, but a few episodes in, she's back to all that we've grown to know her also conveniently forgets what she's done to people and turns a blind eye to it all while expecting apologies for what others have done to her. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nonku Williams (@nonku_williams) 'As I look to the future, I'm reminded of my responsibilities – to myself, my children, my faith, and the community. I want to make a difference, to leave a positive mark on the world. But this show, with its destructive tendencies, isn't the platform for that. I've come to realize that I have a responsibility to prioritize my well-being, to protect my mental health, and to surround myself with positivity. I have a responsibility to my children to be a good role model, to show them the importance of kindness, empathy, and compassion. I have a responsibility for my faith in upholding the values that are important to me, to be a light in the darkness, and to spread love and kindness. And I have a responsibility to the community to be a force for good, to uplift and inspire others, and to make a positive impact,' her Instagram post further reads. 'To those who've supported me throughout this journey, I'm grateful. I acknowledge my part in the chaos, but I also recognise the show's role in shaping our narratives. I'm choosing to break free from this cycle, to seek a path that uplifts and inspires. I'm choosing to use my platform to spread love, kindness, and positivity. I'm choosing to be a role model for my children and for others who may be watching. I'm choosing to prioritize my well-being and to take care of myself. I'm choosing to be authentic, to be true to myself, and to live a life that reflects my values,' she adds. As we prepare to close the chapter of Nonku Williams on the Real Housewives of Durban, she hopes that her story can serve as a testament to the power of self-awareness, courage, and redemption.
