“We have the OGs you have come to know and love, and we have three new women who will bring something different to the franchise. Over the past seasons, we have been aiming to tell stories that audiences relate to.
“The essence of the show is real, and that is why viewers fall in love with these women because they can see themselves in their personal stories, journeys, triumphs and struggles,” she said.
One of the new cast Ameigh Thompson, aka Amanda Sosibo, believes she has much to bring to the show.
“I decided to join The Real Housewives of Durban because I love trying new things. I also wanted to experience this and to challenge myself. I believe being a part of the franchise will not only present many opportunities but will also place me out of my comfort zone,” she said.
Nqobile “Angel” Ndlela, who will be the youngest cast member, said she joined the show because it is the right time.
“I am in a good space, and I want to introduce myself to the world. I know that The Real Housewives of Durban has a big fanbase, and when the opportunity came, I just had to grab it with both hands.”
Radio and TV personality Zamaswazi Ngcobo said she joined The Real Housewives because she loves a challenge and doing things that people think she should not.
“I have had an illustrious career, and I have done almost everything except reality TV. So, when the call came, I knew that it was something that I am supposed to do, to tap into a new industry, even though so many people warned me against reality TV,” Zamaswazi said.
