The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Nonku has positive criticism for the ladies
It the spirit of openness, Nonku felt the need to let her co-stars know what she feels about them. The ladies are nearing the end of their Jamaican getaway, and the reality TV star didn’t want to leave without getting a few things off her chest. While it seemed like her words came from a good place, some of her cast mates didn’t receive Nonku’s actions well.

“I just want to end this night or this evening off on a beautiful note because I really have come to know each and every one of you and I really have become, I have a close or personal relationship with you now,” Nonku said.
Perfect Barbie

She started by telling Mel about her perfectionism. “As much as I wanted to hate you, darling, I still like you. I still think you’re a Barbie, you’re a perfectionist.” She then told the ladies that they’re all welcome to say things about her if they’d like. Nonku described what she was doing as positive criticism.
She continued: “When I look at you, Mel, first thing I said or thought to myself when I saw you, ‘girl, she’s such a perfectionist’… ‘cause I had just seen the movie Barbie, by the way.” Nonku said Mel didn’t have a single strand out of place. “Although you’ve said things that really upset me, you’re still human. I give you that, you make mistakes. As long as you acknowledge them and take accountability,” Nonku added.
She moved on to Christall. “I first met you at the hotel with Bev. I think you’re sort of in your own zone. You and I are sort of like the same because I do that a lot.” She added that Christall makes everything about herself. Christall, on the other hand, didn’t fully appreciate Nonku’s “positive criticism”. “I don’t appreciate that comment that everything is about me because if you just look at her, it’s the pot calling the kettle black,” Christall said.
Woman to woman

It was then time to tell Londie a few things. “I met you two or three years ago,” Nonku shared. “This is honestly my opinion, I feel you honestly took, you just sort of like inherited or went off like you know where the wind is blowing?” She reminded Londie that they had a “thing”, adding: “Over the years, Londie, I’ve connected with you in a sense. Although you and I haven’t spoken or sat down as women, but I understand things that have happened to you. As a woman, seeing another woman just being put down like that. For me it’s a no-no, I don’t care who you are.” She was referring to things that happened on The Real Housewives of Durban.
Nonku feels that Londie can trust and open up to her. “I still feel that you’re close up, I still feel that perhaps you don’t trust me. I don’t have a loose mouth, by the way. I have a lot of secrets in my mouth,” she said. Nonku made it clear that she’s not suggesting that Nonku should share her secrets with her. “I’m just saying I’m a woman like you. I can be trusted. You can open up to me.” Londie responded by saying: “I’m trying not to say anything.”
