The Real Housewives of Durban Seasons 1-5
Made in South Africa
Our eThekwini queens are back with a brand-new season. Stream Season 5 now, with new episodes every Friday.
The Real Housewives of Durban, one of the ten most-streamed titles on Showmax in 2024, is returning for an exciting fifth season.
This season sees the return of OGs Nonku Williams and Sorisha Naidoo, Africa’s longest-serving Housewives. Joining them are Jojo Robinson, who has been with the show since Season 2, and Angel Ndlela, who made her debut in Season 4.
The new season also introduces a fresh dynamic with newcomers Ayanda Mthembu, Kwanele Kubheka and Lo Sithole, promising even more drama, glamour, and unforgettable moments.
From the debut of Durban’s elite in Season 1, featuring Nonku Williams, Sorisha Naidoo, LaConco, Ayanda Ncwane, Kgomotso Ndungane, and Annie Mthembu, The Real Housewives of Durban has delivered opulence, ambition, and fiery clashes. Season 2 welcomed Jojo Robinson, Londie London, and Thobile MaKhumalo Mseleku, while Maria Valaskatzis, Mbali Ngiba, and Slindile Wendy Ndlovu stirred things up in Season 3. Season 4 saw the arrival of Zama Ngcobo, Ameigh Thompson, and Angel Ndlela, alongside returning stars Sorisha, Nonku, Slee Ndlovu, and Maria. Now, as the dust settles, only Nonku and Sorisha—Durban’s original queens—remain, with Jojo and Angel rounding up the cast for this new explosive season.”
