The dramatic Season 5 reunion of Real Housewives of Durban took a shocking turn when cast member Londiwe “Londie London” Zulu revealed plans to pursue legal action against fellow housewife and Gagasi FM presenter Minnie Ntuli.
Behind-the-Scenes Footage Sparks Controversy
During Friday’s highly anticipated reunion special, producers unveiled previously unseen footage showing Ntuli physically confronting Zulu. The clip captured the radio personality making aggressive contact with Zulu’s forehead during a heated exchange, while Zulu maintained remarkable composure.
“What viewers witnessed was completely unacceptable behavior that crosses the line into assault,” commented RHOD cast member Jojo Robinson. “Minnie’s actions were shocking and indefensible.”

Legal Action Looms as Apology Gets Rejected
Zulu confirmed her intention to file charges of common assault and character defamation against Ntuli, stating: “Her apology means nothing to me. Had she attended this reunion, she would have been served legal papers on the spot. Her behaviour warrants criminal consequences.”
The reality TV star further accused Ntuli of circulating damaging rumours throughout the season that negatively impacted both her personal life and professional reputation.
Public Backlash and Calls for Accountability
Ntuli’s absence from the reunion became a talking point, with host MaBlerh noting: “The dynamic changed significantly without Minnie here. She was involved in nearly every major conflict this season.”
Social media platforms erupted with outrage following the episode’s airing, with many viewers demanding consequences:
“Minnie should be banned from all media platforms after this disgraceful behaviour,” tweeted one furious viewer.
Another social media user tagged Gagasi FM directly: “We demand accountability before she returns to airwaves.”

While Gagasi FM has remained silent, RHOD executive producer Sam Kelly addressed the controversy: “We acknowledge the strong viewer reactions. Unscripted reality programming often captures raw, authentic moments that spark important conversations about interpersonal dynamics.”
As of publication, Ntuli has not responded to requests for comment regarding the assault allegations or the growing public demand for her removal from the radio station.
