Pictures: Instagram Reality TV star Jojo Robinson may have experienced a rollercoaster of friendship breakups and makeups on The Real Housewives of Durban (RHODurban), but the show has also helped her build lasting bonds off-screen. Jojo says one of the celebrities she connected with because of the show is actress Khanyi Mbau. 'I absolutely love Khanyi Mbau. We speak often and get compared to being sisters a lot,' she added. The show not only gave Jojo an opportunity to form friendships with A-listers, but also turned her into one herself. She said she has adjusted to her new life and is now able to handle the attention that comes with being on the show. 'It's become normal life for me. I'm always happy and grateful to meet anyone who loves the show.'

Jojo Robinson gets real about life after #RHOD
Since joining The Real Housewives of Durban in season 2, Jojo Robinson became a fan favourite, especially after viewers fell in love with her friendship with co-star Nonku Williams. The end of season 5 left many shocked as 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 which aired recently, Jojo said she was confused about why they had a fallout and hadn't heard from Nonku in a month. Jojo got candid about the impact reality TV has had on her life and friendships: Now that season 5 has wrapped, how do you feel about it? Apart from a few hard things, I enjoyed this season. I loved getting to know the new girls. How have you changed since your first season? I am a new person. I wouldn't know where to start. And I look forward to the growth that will come with everything that happened in season 5. How do you deal with the attention you get from being on the show? It's become normal life for me. I'm happy and grateful to meet anyone who loves the show. Who is the most surprising celebrity you've connected with because of the show? Where would I start? Through this journey I've met most of our celebrities and it would be hard to pick just one. I love Khanyi Mbau. We speak often and get compared to being sisters a lot. What has been your favourite moment on the show? From season 5, that would be our vow renewal in episode 1. Also, reuniting with Sorisha and finding a way to a friendship again. How do you feel about where you and Nonku stand today? I'm appreciative of the years we spent together and the love I had for her. People change and the things they want in life change, and that's OK. Maybe in the future we will get to speak, but for now I have peace in knowing I loved hard. The time we spent together I saw as sisterhood and I'm grateful for that. I wish her nothing but love and peace with whoever she chooses. What do you hope for the group in future? To maintain peace, find real healing for those who need it and continue to grow as a group. As hectic as we are together, it's our little bond. If there is a season 6, who would be in your dream cast? I think it's best we let the professionals decide on whoever they think is best suited. If season 5 were a cosmetic procedure, what would it be and why? A tummy tuck, painful AF, but worth it in the end.

Nonku Williams and Jojo rekindle their friendship
The Real Housewives of Durban stars Nonku Williams and Jojo Robinson have rekindled their friendship after a public 'fallout'. 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.
