Mbali is a musician and actress and the co-founder of African Centric Designs.
She says: “I joined season three as it felt like a great opportunity for me to be a part of such a successful franchise amongst such amazing women. When watching season one and two, I couldn’t shake off the feeling that I’d also add great value as a cast member. So when they approached me I agreed. I also joined because I’d like to see some personal growth within myself as an individual and as a business.”

Slindile is a human resource consultant with experience in events management and interior designing. She is also the founder of events management company – Mawesi Consulting.
Slindile said: “I echo my cast members’ sentiments about the vast opportunities The Real Housewives of Durban presents for all of us, and especially for our overall personal growth. For me, this is an avenue to start all over and rebuild not only as an individual but also as a single mother. I come from a six-year relationship, which I feel I wasted my time and energy in. I gave it my all, so when that didn’t work out, I thought, ‘Why not? Let me try this’. This platform grants you the chance to promote and rebrand, especially when you’re coming from a place of starting over again.”
The Returning Housewives
Annie Mthembu, Jojo Robinson, Nonku Williams and Sorisha Naidoo have reassured fans that what was left in season two will definitely be picked up in season three and fans may see them differently.
