Petition to get Minnie Ntuli off air garners 50k signatures

A Change.org petition launched on July 11, 2025, has quickly gained traction, amassing over 54 000 signatures calling for the removal of media personality Minnie Ntuli from all radio and television platforms, including her current role on Durban’s Gagasi FM and her appearance on The Real Housewives of Durban (RHOD).

Titled “Remove Minnie Ntuli from radio and TV platforms for bullying behaviour”, the petition accuses Ntuli of unprofessional conduct following the release of footage showing her jabbing co-star Londie London in the forehead during a tense RHOD reunion episode.

The petition describes the incident as “bullying behaviour directed at Londie London” and urges broadcasters and regulatory bodies to “investigate the matter seriously and transparently.

Gagasi FM has acknowledged the gravity of the situation.

In a joint statement with Minnie, the station confirmed she has expressed remorse, apologised to cast members and management, and is committed to professional guidance in managing her emotional responses.

“Our focus is on promoting reconciliation … we are treating this matter with the seriousness and care it deserves,” they said.

In addition, Minnie herself has said: “Watching the show back has been deeply confronting. I am appalled by how I behaved, and I take full accountability.”

She emphasised that while her presence on radio and reality TV are separate platforms, both she and Gagasi FM agree she must “take accountability”.
