Glam, Gratitude, and a Little Drama: LaConco Turns 34
If there’s one thing Nonkanyiso Conco—affectionately known in Mzansi as LaConco—knows how to do, it’s make a celebration unforgettable. Her 34th birthday was no exception. The reality star, famed for her “Google me” confidence, hosted an all-white birthday-cum-thanksgiving event that blended luxury, heartfelt moments, and a touch of LaConco drama.
The guest list read like a who’s who of Durban’s entertainment scene. Singer Londie London, actress Zikhona Sodlaka, “Isibaya” star Asavela Mqokiyana, and DJ Zihle were all on hand, dressed to impress, ready to toast LaConco’s latest milestone.

From Reality TV Rivals to Real-Life Friends
Fans of The Real Housewives of Durban (RHOD) will remember the rocky start between LaConco and Londie London on the show. But as Londie recently told the press, the two have grown closer over time. “I like LaConco because she’s more outspoken and just comfortable being herself,” Londie said in 2022. Their friendship added warmth and laughter to the celebration.
The Birthday Girl Stole the Spotlight
True to her reputation, LaConco made a statement without saying a word. She dazzled in a strapless white gown adorned with delicate beadwork and a dramatic ruffle cascading from one shoulder. Her sleek, glossy bun and soft-glam makeup—think winged liner, full lashes, and a nude lip—were polished perfection.
The look was equal parts elegance and confidence, a reminder why LaConco has become a style icon in Durban’s social scene.

A Touch of History, a Sprinkle of Gossip
No LaConco party would be complete without headlines, and her 34th was no exception. Among the attendees was Nompumelelo Ntuli-Zuma, former president Jacob Zuma’s second wife. Her appearance sparked conversations online about past connections, given LaConco’s history with Zuma, which included an engagement, a child (their son Sakhumuzi), and years of public attention.
LaConco has addressed the past candidly, telling fans: “The romantic spark … died many years ago. I’m not in love with him.” She continues to co-parent while fully embracing her present and future.

Celebrating Life, Family, and Friendship
Beyond the glitz and glamour, the evening reflected LaConco’s personality: bold, unapologetic, and deeply connected to her circle of family and friends. The all-white theme symbolized gratitude, a new chapter, and the kind of elegance only LaConco can deliver.
From heartfelt toasts to playful photo ops, the 34th birthday bash was a reminder that LaConco remains one of Mzansi’s most magnetic personalities, unafraid to celebrate herself while keeping fans, friends, and family close.
