As the first season of Real Housewives of Durban came to an end last week, the host for the reunion has been announced.
Radio host and TV personality Majota “Phat Joe” Khambule will host the upcoming special.
The cast of the first season consists of Annie Ludick, Ayanda Mcwane, Kgomotso Ndungane, Nonkanyiso Conco, Nonku Williams, and Sorisha Naidoo.
Phil Mphela, who is a reliable entertainment journalist, first shared the news on Twitter.
The series ended on a sour note with the group divided after a dramatic first season of shady feuds, drama, and rumors.
Some of the ladies faced major backlash on social media due to their comments and messy behavior. Ncwane was accused of tribalism in the last episode.
Phat Joe previously hosted The Real Housewives of Johannesburg season two reunion.
