Nonku Williams explains friendship breakup with Jojo

The breakup story between two best friends, Jojo Robinson and Nonku Williams, who met on The Real Housewives of Durban, has left many netizens feeling heartbroken.

Following a lot of backlash on social media, Nonku Williams decided to share her side of the story. After weeks of trending online, she chose to share her truth with the public about what went wrong between her and Jojo.

In an Instagram post, Nonku Williams issued a statement where she apologised to Jojo Robinson for how she treated her on the reality TV show and for what she had said regarding their friendship to Londie London and Sorisha Naidoo. “As I reflect on my recent statement about my friendship with Jojo on the show, I want to take a moment and address the hurt and misunderstanding it may have caused. I never intended to denounce our friendship or diminish the value that Jojo has brought into my life,” she wrote.

Nonku further admitted to not being able to deliver her message in a polite manner. “I want to apologise for using the words ‘surface level’ when referring to my friendship with Jojo. In no way was I speaking about the love or bond we share; that was never my intention. The truth is, I tend to be very blunt in how I express myself, and I’m actively working on being more mindful and gentle in my delivery.”
