WATCH: ‘RHODurban’ star Nonku Williams reigns as Africa’s longest-serving housewife

Nonku Williams has marked a significant milestone in The Real Housewives franchise.

Having graced the screens for a full four seasons on the Real Housewives of Durban (RHODurban), the businesswoman and reality TV star is the longest-serving Housewife in Africa.

Reflecting on her journey, Nonku said she has learnt and grown so much over the past years.

She added: “It feels so great having that honour. I have grown so much over the years. If you look at the first season of The Real Housewives of Durban and the fourth season, which is airing, you will see the growth.

“I have gone through many things, ups and downs, and I am so grateful to Showmax and my fans, who have stood by me through the good, the bad, and the ugly.”

Advising the aspiring Housewives, Nonku emphasised the importance of authenticity.

“Just be real, be yourself, and be authentic. Over the years, I have always just come as myself. It can sometimes be tricky, but you just have to be yourself; that is how audiences will connect with you,” she said.
