Viewers React to the Real Housewives of Durban Season 5 Reunion

Season 5 of The Real Housewives of Durban delivered all the glitz, drama, and jaw-dropping moments fans have come to expect, only this time, the tension was dialed all the way up. From the fiery fallout between Minnie and Londie to the shocking dissolution of Joku, emotions ran high and alliances crumbled in real-time. Just when we thought we'd seen it all, the highly-anticipated reunion dropped, and let’s just say, no one was prepared

Hosted by the ever-stylish and always composed MaBleh, the reunion was anything but calm. With tempers flaring and truths laid bare, fans were treated to a rollercoaster of revelations, many of which didn’t even make it to air. Exclusive unseen footage has since emerged, casting an even more dramatic light on what really went down behind the scenes. It's safe to say peace isn't on the cards anytime soon. One particularly conspicuous absence? Minnie. Her decision to skip the reunion speaks volumes, especially considering how tense things left off with Londie.

Lo on The Real Housewives of Durban

To put it all into perspective, The Real Housewives of Durban has become more than just reality TV, it's a cultural touchpoint. Season 3 underscored how quickly sisterhood can shift into rivalry, and viewers have been captivated by the vulnerability and volatility of it all. As social media continues to buzz with hot takes, memes, and side-taking commentary, one thing is certain: this franchise still knows how to keep us glued to our screens.

Here’s what fans are saying on social media…

She came with all the receipts and held each and everyone accountable without raising her voice, bursting out into crocodile tears or deflecting responsibility. The Queen did not stutter. She dealt with them one by one and she took no prisoners!#RHODurbanS5 #RHODurbanreunion pic.twitter.com/klRNlsCoka

😂😂😂 also, I love how Londie stood ten toes down. She didn’t apologise AGAIN for the amaphiko comment. And she reiterated that she said what she said. The twins tried that approach and it didn’t work. Love Mablerh for not giving in to those tears #RHODurbanreunion
