THE Real Housewives of Durban are officially coming to our small screens.
Season 1 will kick off on Mzansi Magic, starting Sunday, 2 May, taking over the slot for gospel show VIP Invite at 7pm.
That show, hosted by gospel singer Hle Ntombela, will move to 1.30pm and will repeat at 9.30pm on the same day.
Hle’s interviews of gospel powerhouses such as Ntokozo Mbambo, Lebo Sekgobela, Kholeka and Takie Ndou has been doing great and trended on Twitter every Sunday.
The Housewives will take over until July, when Our Perfect Wedding returns. Mzansi’s favourite wedding show is taking a production break until then.

In the meantime, Ayanda Ncwane, Nonkanyiso “La Conco” Conco, Kgomotso Ndungane, Sorisha Naaido, Nonku Williams, Anne-Tonni Lodick and Mabusi Seme will be taking over the 7pm time slot.
Their show on Showmax ended two weeks ago. The ladies always brought drama every week and there were appearances from celebs such as Durban businesswoman Zanele Mbokazi-Nkambule and celebrity chef Siba Mtongana.
Announcing the news, Mzansi Magic said: “The Real Housewives of Durban is set to keep viewers glued to their screens as the beautiful ladies will open their doors to share their daily lives of conspicuous consumption and splendour.”
The housewives have filmed a reunion for season 1, hosted by TV and radio presenter Phat Joe, set to air on Showmax on Friday, 30 April.
