On the one side were Sorisha Naidoo, Slee Ndlovu, and newcomers Ameigh Thompson and Angel Ndlela. On the other side, Jojo Robinson, Maria Valaskatzis, Nonku Williams, and newcomer Zama Ngcobo. With the ladies from each camp not seeing eye-to-eye, viewers have a lot of unanswered questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The drama is far from over, as Showmax will be airing the reunion in two parts on 15 May and 22 May 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI know how heavily invested the audience is in <em>The Real Housewives of Durban<\/em>, which is why I can never go in there and be flippant,\u201d says MaBlerh, the first African to host multiple reunions of <em>The Real Housewives<\/em> franchise, including <em>The Real Housewives of Gqeberha S1<\/em> and <em>The Real Housewives of Johannesburg S3.<\/em> \u201cThere are people who wake up at midnight to watch the show, so I know that I have to take it seriously and deliver on all fronts. I am honoured to be breaking the record for an African host and I\u2019m excited to be back for the second time: it\u2019s going to be a more comfortable experience for the ladies because we now have a rapport.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MaBlerh promises viewers that he is not going to leave any stone unturned. \u201cWhen I approached the reunion last year, it was different. Things were very heated and the ladies were barely speaking to one another, so I had to be very sensitive and aware of everything that had happened. With Season 4, it\u2019s going to be different because it is not the same season, but I\u2019m still going to get to the bottom of things and I\u2019ll hold the ladies accountable for the things they have said and done.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MaBlerh says he is there to represent the audience, who have made the show the success it is. \u201cI am there to represent the viewers. I\u2019ve been watching the tweets; I\u2019ve been watching the concerns and comments, and, trust me, all of those things will be addressed. I do not operate in a vacuum. I watch, and after every episode, I am on social media looking at what the sentiment is. If you have tweeted under the hashtag #RHODurban, your concerns will be covered.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe chose MaBlerh because he\u2019s a big fan of <em>The Real<\/em> <em>Housewives<\/em> franchise and has a very deep connection with the Durban franchise,\u201d says Sam Kelly, Let it Rain Films\u2019 executive producer. \u201cHe is a fantastic host and he did a spectacular job last season; he managed to tackle the themes with the grace and sensitivity they needed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On why people need to watch the reunion, Sam added, \u201cIt has been a crazy season and the reunion will be your chance to understand all sides of the story. You will see things from everyone\u2019s perspective.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ziyakhala on this season Finale | RHODurban S4 | Showmax Original\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vSz-NxqOrHw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The first season of <em>The Real Housewives of Durban<\/em> set a then-record on Showmax for the most first-day views and went on to be released in 28 territories outside Africa on hayu, not to mention on Peacock and Bravo, the original home of <em>The Real Housewives<\/em> franchise.
