Sam Kelly, executive producer at Let It Rain Films, says, “The new season of The Real Housewives of Durban is going to be bigger and better. We have the OGs you have come to know and love and we have three new women who are going to bring something different to the franchise.

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.”

Ameigh Sibahle Thompson
Ameigh Thompson, aka Amanda Sosibo, is a mother of two who works in the pharmaceutical industry but is currently on a much-needed break. Ameigh is also the founder of the Fundisiwe Foundation, named after her late mother.
As a new cast member, Ameigh believes that she has a lot to bring to the show. “I decided to join The Real Housewives of Durban because I absolutely 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.”
Nqobile “Angel” Ndlela
Born and bred in Howick, Angel Ndlela now lives in Umhlanga. She is a serial entrepreneur with business interests in construction, taxis, manufacturing and fashion design. An aspiring musician, host and social influencer, she holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and is also pursuing a career in the same field.
“I joined the show because I feel like this is the right time for me,” says Angel. “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.”
At 28 years old, Angel is the youngest member of the cast. “I want the world to see me grow,” she says. “I want to get married and have kids on the show; that is the long-term plan.”
Zamaswazi Ngcobo
Radio and TV personality Zama Ngcobo grew up in Eshowe in Zululand. Having worked on some of the biggest platforms the industry can offer, 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.”
