Nonku visits Sfiso Ncwane’s grave: The Real Housewives of Durban
Say whatever you like about Ayanda and Nonku, but we commend the ladies for putting their differences aside to do what’s right for their children. While some people may be of the view that their reconciliation is not genuine, their actions are proving that they’re really ready to put the past behind them and start with a clean slate.
Watch: Nonku The Real Housewives of Durban Best Moments!
The two housewives both have children with late gospel singer Sfiso Ncwane. Ayanda was married to him while Nonku had a brief relationship with him back in the day.

Nonku mentioned on the show that she never got the chance to say goodbye to him and also wanted her daughter, Nothile, to see her father’s final resting place. “I watched his funeral on DStv Catch Up,” Nonku said.
Old wounds resurface
On the latest episode of The Real Housewives of Durban, Ayanda, Nonku and their children visited the late star’s gravesite, and it was a very emotional time for everyone. While they were standing in front of his grave, Ayanda told Nothile: “I know for a fact that your father loved you. I have no doubts about it. So, maybe if you were given a moment to say just one thing to him, what would you say?”
The young girl didn’t have any words.

Meanwhile, Nonku still has a lot of healing to do.
“Ayanda coming into my life opened up a lot of wounds. I’m really holding my tears at this point because I just, I don’t wanna go there,” she said, with tears in her eyes. “When I learned of his death, it broke me. I grieved not just because of myself, it was mostly because of you. You didn’t get a chance to get to know him,” Nonku told Nothile.
Nonku’s emotional plea
She added that God made her similar to Sfiso in everything. “I thank God for today, for this opportunity. Ayanda, thank you. You don’t have to do what you are doing; I just thank you. I just really want us to unite and do this for our kids.”
Nonku said if she had the chance, she would thank Sfiso for giving her a child and would apologise to him for not allowing him to be a part of her life.
“I know he loved his daughter, but I just never gave him the chance. I should have tried harder… Just come back, don’t be gone. I need you,” she said.
What a tearjerker. Do you think Ayanda and Nonku’s relationship will be strengthened by this moment? Binge all of The Real Housewives of Durban on Showmax.
