Londie London demands public apology from Minnie Ntuli by 5 PM
She wants an apology, and she wants it now! Media personality Londie London is demanding a public apology from radio personality Minnie Ntuli. Following an intense episode 2 of The Real Housewives of Durban reunion, Londie has taken a firm stance against Minnie, demanding a public apology for the physical assault and defamatory remarks she endured on the show. Read more | 'I reached out privately to apologise' – Minnie Ntuli clears the air on Londie London beef Throughout season 5 of RHOD, viewers have seen Minnie and Londie at loggerheads with each other after the Suk'emabhozeni hitmaker commented on Minnie's dress at their first-ever meet-up on the show. Things quickly got out of hand when Minnie made condescending and demeaning comments about how Londie allegedly makes her money, which many thought was distasteful. Additionally, during episode 2 of the reunion, host MaBlerh aired 'unseen footage' of the two attempting a sit-down to resolve their differences on their Maldives trip during the show. The footage revealed a heated exchange between the two, with Minnie confronting and physically assaulting Londie by repeatedly poking her forehead while Londie did not retaliate. Viewers of the show have condemned Minnie's actions and praised Londie's poise during the altercation. Minnie didn't attend the reunion but made attempts to apologise to Londie; however, despite her apologies, including a message she sent that was read aloud to Londie by Angel Ndlela during the reunion, Londie still feels her efforts aren't enough and a public apology is necessary to match the public nature of the humiliation she endured.

The singer demands that Minnie acknowledge her wrongdoings, express remorse for the defamatory remarks and physical assault and take responsibility for her actions. Failure to comply may result in further legal action, including suing for damages and opening an assault case with the South African Police Service. Minnie remains inactive on all her social media platforms following the backlash she received after footage came to light at the reunion.

RHOD's Londie London on heated clash with Minnie Ntuli: ‘I was proud of how I handled myself'
After a whirlwind fifth season of The Real Housewives of Durban (RHOD) came to a close with reunion no-shows and explosive never-before-seen footage, Londiwe 'Londie London' Zulu is feeling vindicated. Londie's brief return to RHOD since her debut in season two stirred issues between her and Minnie Ntuli, a friend of the show and co-host of The Uprising morning show with Felix Hlophe on Gagasi FM. The last leg of the two-part reunion - which Minnie skipped out in in favour of posting her own 'un-reunion' online - revealed a clip of Londie and Minnie attempting a sit-down to hash out their issues. This turned heated as Minnie accused Londie of coming for her parents and aggressively poked Londie twice on her forehead, leaving fellow RHOD castmates and viewers in shock. Londie shares, 'It was definitely surreal seeing that scene again. But, honestly, I was proud of how I handled myself. 'I didn't allow myself to be baited into anything that doesn't reflect who I am. I always carry myself with intention: I'm a mother, a daughter and a businesswoman. So, maintaining my composure, even in a heated moment, was a big win for me.' Since the final reunion part's airing, both Gagasi FM and Minnie have released statements acknowledging and denouncing Minnie's actions on the show, with the KwaZulu-Natal-based radio station switching out Minnie for Gagasi Sunday Groove radio host Nonkululeko 'Nkulee' Mbatha for their morning show. Part of Minnie's statement reads, 'This experience has made me realise the ripple effect of my behaviour — I've disappointed my family, my friends, my clients, and most importantly, the loyal listeners who tune in to my show every weekday. 'Because of this, I've decided to take some time off to reflect, to seek healing and to work on myself with the help of counselling. I will also be using this time to personally reach out to those I have hurt and to actively begin the process of atonement.' On if she's spoken to Minnie since the reunion aired, Londie reveals, 'No but she did try to reach out via a text message apologising in private. Which is quite different from the statement she released. It is quite disappointing that I was humiliated in public but I'm not getting a proper apology directed to me in public.' Fans of the reality show have been rallying behind Londie since the show's conclusion, with tens of thousands signing petitions to remove Minnie from media and television platforms. Fellow housewives including Sorisha Naidoo have also called for Londie's full-time return to the show and Londie shares how she would be open to returning on a full-time basis. 'I've always loved being part of the show. It's not just about the cameras, it's about the real relationships I've built with some of the women. There's genuine history and love there, and I'd be open to continuing that journey,' she explains. As a final note, Londie shares a few words of appreciation for her supporters. 'My heart is so full. The amount of love and support I've received has been truly overwhelming, in the best way. I'm so grateful to every single person who's stood by me and sent messages of encouragement. I've never experienced this kind of warmth before and I don't take it for granted.'

‘Where's the accountability?' - RHOD viewers react to latest reunion episode
The Real Housewives of Durban (RHOD) has captivated audiences with its unique blend of drama, luxury, and entertainment, making it the number one trending topic in South Africa for weeks on end. We've watched friendships form and fracture, witnessed jaw-dropping moments unfold. Since the Season 5 finale aired on June 13, 2025, one thing has become increasingly clear: fans want accountability. Showmax aired the reunion in two parts, the first one having aired on July 4, 2025, and the last one having aired today, July 11, 2025, bringing the viewers a surprise, revealing a previously unseen side of Minnie's behaviour that has left the avid viewers stunned. The reunion serves as a platform where cast members are expected to confront past conflicts and take ownership of their actions. However, with Nonku and Minnie absent, it seemed unlikely that all loose ends would be addressed, particularly the unresolved tension between Minnie and Londie London. In the episode, MaBlerh (the host) aired 'unseen' footage of Minnie and Londie during their Maldives trip. In the clip, Minnie is seen confronting and assaulting Londie London by repeatedly shoving her on her forehead while Londie composed herself, showing no intention of retaliating. The drama started when Londie allegedly disrespected Minnie's parents during an argument. Since then, Minnie has used this incident to justify her treatment of Londie. Many viewers, however, believe Minnie was targeting Londie from the start and is using the 'parent incident' as an excuse. Many have taken to social media, calling for accountability from all involved parties, while many commended Londie for her calmness during the assault. i am not even joking when i say Minnie deserves to lose everything after today's episode. Londie should SUE Minnie for everything penny that she has worked on her feet for. what a degenerate of a human being. #RHOD #RHODurban #RHODurbanS5 — uMaSimelane 🇵🇸 (@sibane_s) July 11, 2025 Londie has always been cordial with Minnie. It's clear nje that this girl baited Londie for a moment & now she can't face the music #RHODurbanS5 #RHOD — Zopio Dero (@KasiMait) July 11, 2025 My jaw was on the floor after seeing that unseen footage... Londie really showed restraint in that I'm appalled by this girl yho 🤮 #Londie #RHOD #RHODurbanS5 — Oksalayo (@Nonnie_c2) July 11, 2025 I'm disgusted @gagasifm I sincerely hope y'all take necessary actions pertaining this utter behaviour of your employee. #RHODurbanS5 #RHODurbanreunion #RHOD #rhodreunion #RHODS5 — A🫦 (@MarhleM) July 11, 2025 GagasiFM - Minnie's current workplace has also been called to action by many. Additionally, Minnie Ntuli has since deactivated all her social media accounts. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Showmax (@showmaxonline)
