Minnie Ntuli's ‘RHOD' clash leaves Gagasi FM ‘shocked': Presenter steps back from morning show
Image: Supplied
Gagasi FM has stated that the actions of "The Real Housewives of Durban" co-star and Gagasi FM radio presenter, Minentle 'Minnie' Ntuli, left the station 'shocked' and 'disappointed.'
Ntuli co-hosts the morning show "The Uprising" alongside reality star Felix Hlophe.
The station's statement follows a heated moment on the recent two-part reunion episode of the reality TV show, where an unseen clip was aired showing Ntuli in an argument with fellow cast member Londie London.
In the video, the confrontation between London and Ntuli escalated when Ntuli took offence to London's question about her upbringing, feeling it was a personal attack on her parents.
The situation intensified as Ntuli threw a cushion and approached London, accusing her of disrespecting her parents and 'dishonouring' them. This followed London asking her who raised her, as she has shown a lack of respect for others.

The exchange turned heated, with Ntuli hurling insults and aggressively poking London in the forehead, which left her in disbelief.
Despite the provocation, London remained calm, labeling Ntuli as 'horrible' and a 'bully' and questioning her behaviour.

Ntuli and London's feud had been one of the many dramatic things that have been happening on this season of the show and entertained viewers.
The palpable tension between the two had fans glued to their screens every week to see what would happen next.
'Like many of our listeners and members of the public, we were shocked and disappointed by what we saw."
'While 'The Real Housewives of Durban' is an independent production and separate from Gagasi FM, we acknowledge that Minnie's conduct on the show has had an impact on both our brand and the community we serve."
'In previous seasons, we have seen other cast members on the show engage in moments of conflict and even attempted physical confrontations. What gives us hope is that, in many of these instances, reconciliation has been possible, and relationships have been mended,' the radio station stated.

According to the station, "Ntuli had fully owned up to her actions, offered a sincere apology, and penned a letter of regret to the production company and cast members of the show."
Additionally, the station affirmed it was against bullying, aggression and disrespect.
Gagasi FM stated that Ntuli was committed to seeking professional assistance to better manage her emotions, and the station expressed support for her decision.
'Our focus is on promoting reconciliation. Both Minnie and the other cast members are professionals in the media industry, and it is likely they will work together again in future."
'As a station, we are committed to supporting a process that encourages healing, forgiveness, and mutual respect,' they said.
Ntuli had also previously responded with her own statement after the episode aired, reflecting on her actions after watching the show.
'Watching the show back has been deeply confronting. I am appalled by how I behaved, and I take full accountability for the role I played."
I want to sincerely apologise to the affected cast members. I know my actions hurt others, and for that, I am truly sorry. I have reached out to them privately and publicly, and I remain committed to making amends, including having face-to-face conversations if and when they are open to it,' she wrote.

Fans rally behind Londie London as she files legal action against Minnie Ntuli
Fans are standing firmly behind Londie London after the media personality and entrepreneur announced plans to take legal action against radio presenter Minnie Ntuli. The legal move follows a season-long feud between Ntuli and London on The Real Housewives of Durban. The tension reached a boiling point in the two-part reunion, where unseen footage was aired showing a heated confrontation between the two, drawing strong reactions from viewers. In the unseen clip, tensions flared as the pair tried to resolve their issues. Ntuli accused London of disrespecting her parents, stating that a question about her upbringing was a direct insult to her family. The confrontation erupted after London directly questioned Ntuli with the phrase 'Uzalwe ubani' (meaning 'who gave birth to you'), insinuating that her behaviour showed a lack of respect and proper upbringing. Ntuli aggressively threw a cushion, confronted London, and accused her of disrespecting and 'dishonouring' her parents before forcefully poking her forehead, an intense moment that shocked viewers and left many questioning what they had just witnessed. Despite facing both verbal and physical aggression, London held her ground, she called Ntuli a 'horrible person' and a 'bully'. As part two of the reunion came to a close, London revealed she would be pursuing legal action. On July 16, she shared on social media the legal documents, which stated: 'We can confirm that we act on behalf of Ms Londiwe Zulu, hereinafter referred to as our client, and on whose instruction, we write this letter to your good selves. "Take note that our client elects our offices as her domicilium citandi et executandi, at which addresses she shall henceforth receive all communications, notices and pleadings relating to the matter herein, without limiting the generality thereof." "Our failure to address any aspect relating to this matter should not be construed as a waiver of our client's rights, and we reserve on behalf of our client the right to do so at the relevant forum and when appropriate and necessary… "It is further our instructions that during the second episode of the reunion aired on 11 July 2025, you assaulted our client unprovoked and continued to do so even when she was not physically responding to your assault. The legal document further demands that Ntuli issue a video apology and share it across all her social media accounts. "We demand from you as we hereby do that you record a sincere video apology, which you should send to us and post on all your social media accounts by 17H00 on Wednesday 16 July 2025, failing which we hold instructions to sue for damages and open an assault case with the South African Police Services." The document reads. Before London revealed her plans to take legal action, Ntuli shared a statement expressing remorse, admitting that seeing her own actions unfold on screen was both painful and disturbing. "Over the past few weeks, I've had to come face-to-face with the impact of my actions on The Real Housewives of Durban. Watching the show back has been deeply confronting—I am appalled by how I behaved, and I take full accountability for the role I played. 'I want to sincerely apologise to the affected cast members. I know my actions hurt others, and for that, I am truly sorry. I have reached out to them privately and publicly, and I remain committed to making amends, including having face-to-face conversations if and when they are open to it. "I've also taken time to engage with Gagasi FM management regarding the negative attention my participation in the show has brought to the station. While my work on radio and my presence on the show are two separate platforms, both Gagasi FM and I agree that it is important I take accountability. The station has expressed disappointment in my behaviour, and together we've agreed that I will seek professional counselling to address my emotional responses." The statement reads. Social media users took to Instagram to express their support for London. @londy_mazwide_eventdesigner said: "Well done! Bullies must be dealt with accordingly." "We applaud @londie_london_official. 'You will not, do not speak to me like that, you will keep quiet when I speak.' " Thank you, Londie, for standing up for yourself! Bullies can be finished, please apologise to that auntie, time has gone," said @thalizie_zuma. "Louder…well-done, Londie, may this be a lesson," said @ winniezandile. "Continue with the case after the apology. Minnie has to be made an example. We are tired of bullies‼️‼️" said @Nkatekonkati1. "You could've sued for a whole lot, but you decided to give her an opportunity to redeem herself! Your level of self-awareness is to be studied, Mama," said @Tinyiko.m. "She's lucky there's still an option to apologise and not just get arrested! You're very sweet, Mama, and that's a good thing. I just hope her pride doesn't control her coz you're not asking for much!" said @Gabisilet. The Star [email protected]

'I'm Sorry We Let You Down' RHOD's Jojo Robinson Reflects
One of the most beloved friendships in The Real Housewives of Durban has come to a bittersweet end. Jojo Robinson has broken her silence after an emotional fallout with fellow cast member and former bestie Nonku Williams. Jojo posted a heartfelt tribute and farewell note on Instagram that's got fans talking. In what's being called the most emotionally charged season yet, The Real Housewives of Durban has delivered on drama, but for fans of the 'Joku' friendship between Jojo Robinson and Nonku Williams, the final episodes were more heartbreaking than entertaining. Jojo took to Instagram on Wednesday to share an emotional montage and open letter to Nonku, reflecting on their once-close friendship that blossomed on the show and seemed to unravel just as quickly. 'The way I've avoided this post…,' Jojo began. 'But it's gotten to the point where I just want to address it.' The pair's bond, once marked by laughter, private jokes, and loyal defence of one another, appeared to fracture in the penultimate episode of the season during the cast trip to Mauritius. Nonku questioned Jojo's faith and described their friendship to the other ladies as 'surface level' and 'for the show'. While they shared an emotional reconciliation on-screen, they even swam together in the ocean after a tearful talk. Jojo later revealed she only discovered afterwards that Nonku had tried to 'baptise' her by pushing her head underwater. ALSO READ:'I am not a boy anymore': Mpumelelo Mseleku pays lobola 'It was very real, and it was filled with love and sisterhood,' Jojo insisted in her post, addressing social media speculation that their bond was staged. 'Saying this friendship didn't matter… It's really hard to see.' At the reunion show, which Nonku did not attend, Jojo appeared tearful and struggled to articulate exactly what went wrong. It was mentioned that Nonku had found new friends, including Beverly Steyn from Real Housewives of Cape Town and Ultimate Girls Trip, another Showmax reality spin-off. Jojo's Instagram tribute included a video montage of their happy moments; however, it made it clear she still values what they had. 'Dear Nonkie Nonks, I hope you find peace and love with whoever you choose in this life… I'm forever grateful for the friendship we shared and the fact that you were a big part of my journey in this life.' She continued with sincerity, acknowledging the pain but choosing closure: '♥️ I understand that you are going in a different direction, and I hope one day we get to talk again in person…but for now, because I know someone will send this to you. Know that I'm grateful for you… I'm grateful for what you meant in this life to me, and I will always remember that, regardless of what happened, we always had each other, and now maybe it is time for us to start our journey and just be nonku and jojo, not joku anymore. 'I forgive you, and I'm also sorry for any part I played that upset you [too]. 'I understand now… and I'm okay. I wish you so much peace and love in this crazy life… thank you for being [a part] of mine. And to Joku nation. Thank you for believing in love and friendship…thank you for defending us… I'm sorry we let u down.' The Real Housewives of Durban cast. Picture: Supplied Followers were especially touched by Jojo's message to supporters of their friendship: 'To Joku Nation. Thank you for believing in love and friendship… I'm sorry we let you down.' The two no longer follow each other on social media, and as of today, Nonku has not responded to the post.
