As the last original cast member since the franchise’s arrival in South Africa, she became a household name for fans of reality television. Over the seasons, Nonku underwent several transformations, stirring up drama, earning the label of “instigator”, and consistently keeping audiences talking.

As she bids farewell to the show, Nonku offered a glimpse into her reasons for stepping away. “Watching myself on screen, I'm confronted with a reality that’s hard to accept,” she admitted. “As I look to the future, I’m reminded of my responsibilities, to myself, my children, my faith, and the community. I want to make a difference, to leave a positive mark on the world. But this show, with its destructive tendencies, isn’t the platform for that.”
