Jojo and Nonku rekindle their friendship

The Real Housewives of Durban (RHOD) stars, Jojo Robinson and Nonku Williams; affectionately known as ‘JoKu’ have rekindled their friendship, mending many hearts.

Their five-year friendship saw cracks after Nonku referred to the friendship as ‘surface level’ at the end of the show’s fifth season. Jojo and Nonku’s breakup left many of RHOD viewers with broken hearts.

After their public fallout, Nonku took to her Instagram page to apologise to the viewers and Jojo for what she said on the show.

“I never intended to denounce our friendship or diminish the value Jojo has brought to my life. As many may know, in reality TV a lot of things can be taken out of context to make a ‘spicy show’ and my statement was taken out of context and blown out of proportion. I’d like to clarify what I meant.

“I apologise for using the words ‘surface level’ when referring to my friendship with Jojo. I was in no way speaking about the love or bond we share. That was never my intention,” said Nonku.
