'RHODurban' stars reveal secrets behind their reunion looks [Pics]
Following the reunion of The Real Housewives of Durban Season 5 (RHODurban), we caught up with the stars to bring you the inside scoop on their reunion looks — who styled them and the inspiration behind their dazzling outfits.
Durban's reality TV favourites recently gathered for a star-studded reunion, which aired over the past two Fridays on Showmax.
The RHODurban Season 5 reunion gave viewers answers and plenty of drama, from the unresolved tension between friends of the show, Precious and Minnie Ntuli, to the cheating allegations Fafa's husband made on camera, and the disappointing absence of the show's original cast member, Nonku Williams.
The reunion was not only a hotbed of drama but also a dazzling display of style. Each star looked stunning with carefully curated looks interpreting the theme of Silver.

Jojo Robinson was dressed by Che Couture. She told The Citizen: 'My look was inspired by a housewife favourite — diamonds. I always dress in what I feel comfortable in.'
Twins Andile and Ayanda Mthembu showcased their own brand, Styled.za, in collaboration with LadyJ Bridal Boutique.
'When we learned the theme was Silver, our thoughts instantly turned to diamonds because nothing embodies elegance and brilliance quite like they do.
'We wanted Ayanda to shimmer and shine, just like the radiant diamond she truly is,' Andile said.
Ayanda described her style as 'bold, creative and colourful.'
Lo Sithole was styled by young designer Ntsike Ensembled.
'I wanted a look that makes me feel powerful, feminine and unapologetically me.
'This is a celebration of confidence. I was myself throughout the whole season, and when invited to an event, I made sure to stick to the theme, but with my style that suits my physique,' she said.
Sorisha Naidoo wore a futuristic ensemble by the talented team at 18th Victorian.
'The look was inspired by an avatar garden and the future of fashion — robotics, movement and high-tech couture,' Sorisha explained.
'It featured dynamic, moving elements that pushed the boundaries of traditional red carpet style. Our aim was to showcase South African design as bold, futuristic and globally competitive.'
Working with 18th Victorian over the years, Sorisha said the designers understand her personality, what accentuates her features, and what reflects her spirit.
'They always manage to strike that perfect balance between strength and softness. I'm grateful for the way they continue to experiment and elevate our local fashion to international standards. And I must say, it's always a joy to wear their creations — they allow me to embody the artistry they pour into each design.'

Hot stepper! Young 'Cheslin Kolbe' goes viral at Craven Week
A South African primary schoolboy has been compared to an up-and-coming Cheslin Kolbe after a clip of him sidestepping during a friendly rugby game at Craven Week went viral on social media. Zedan Johnson of Rietkuil Primary School broke the internet with his quick 'goose steps' that has reportedly caught the eye of rugby scouts. While all eyes were on the pitch during Craven Week's fierce school rugby battle this week, little Zedan Johnson played his own game amongst his pals behind the posts. Facing opponents much bigger than him, the Rietkuil Primary learner was filmed zig-zagging with ease and speed to score a try in his makeshift game. His moves were widely compared to Springbok Cheslin Kolbe, who has been voted the best winger and scrumhalf of his generation. 'Nobody cares about Craven Week, and everyone is going crazy about this kid', posted TikTok user @brandensauerman. @brandensauerman The main event of the day😂 © 2025 [@Visua ]. All rights reserved.

No DNA, just RSA!'. Media personality Siv Ngesi also reposted a clip of the schoolboy, sharing: 'Give him a Springbok contract, put a scrum cap on him, and protect him till he is ready!' @samedmonds92 The biggest game at Craven Week today!

'Because he plays like me – nice!', he said of his role model. Zedan added that he wanted to play for the Springboks when he grew up, as 'they are the greatest team'. @stadio_higher_ed We caught up with Zedan Johnson aka Small, the boy who stole the show (and our hearts) at Craven Week with that Kolbe step 🏉💫 Hear what the future star has to say! 🌟 #STADIOHigherEducation #fyp #foryoupage #trending #explore #CravenWeek #sama28 ♬ The Champion – Lux-Inspira Like Zedan Johnson, Cheslin Kolbe also once shared his dreams of playing for the green and gold team. In an EWN sports feature in 2013, the baby-faced star – then just 20 years old – spoke about his goals as a rising rugby player. The winger had just signed for the Stormers – a 'dream come true' – and, despite his small frame, was hoping to make a significant impact on the pitch. Western Province coach John Dobson lauded the pint-sized player as 'outstanding,' while Stormers coach Allister Coetzee called him a 'gifted player.' Born into a community riddled with crime and drugs, Cheslin Kolbe decided to 'take a different path'. Known for his skill as a 'side-stepper' – which he has now honed to perfection – the eager player described his ultimate goal. 'My biggest dream is to become a Springbok', he said with conviction. He added: 'It doesn't matter about size and weight. It's all about the heart and mind. You can achieve anything you think you can'. Last year, Cheslin Kolbe was nominated for the World Player of the Year Award. He also won SA Rugby's Player of the Year Award.
