Nonku Williams opens up about her past abusive marriage. The Real Housewives of Durban star shared her story in an emotional video via Instagram, which she captioned, “my journey of survival and triumph.’’
“Please allow me to share my journey. It’s not easy. As I speak I’m actually holding tears because the journey is hard. I come here looking all glammed up. Most people tell me I’m strong, but you know sometimes I hate that word because I’m not strong.”
“I cry alone. I kneel down and ask God why I have so much burden,” she continued. “I’ve never seen so much love. God knows me. He loves me. I went through a horrible marriage. I was abused mentally, physically, and emotionally.”
“I was told I’d never amount to anything, but today you’re looking at a woman who’s found herself, who has found her identity. I know who I am and I know what I stand for.”

She added, “I know who I am and I know what I stand for. Yes, the battle is hard. Every day I have to remind myself that I’m alive and I have promise. I have three beautiful children. I’m blessed. Every day I look at myself in the mirror and remind myself that.”
