REAL Housewives of Durban star Ayanda Ncwane found herself in hot water after she was accused of tribalism.
This after she said one of the housewives, Kgomotso Ndungane, wasn’t a black person during the show’s season finale on Showmax on Friday, 16 April.
While chatting with her brother Phupho Gumede and fellow housewife, Nonkanyiso “LaConco” Conco, she said Kgomotso isn’t black because she’s Tswana. People on social media were offended and she trended on Twitter.
- Gontse Khumo said: “... What she said to Kgomotso showed that she’s a tribalist. The production should do something about it. In fact, we demand a public apology from her.”
- Yeezy Dizzle wrote: “What Ayanda said was rude, but she will get away with it because she’s pretty! Apologies to all my Tswana queens and kings... ningabantu.”
Ayanda hasn’t said anything about the backlash, nor has she apologised.
