It wasn’t that long ago that fans of The Real Housewives of Durban watched Nonku Williams and Jojo Robinson light up the screen with their fun energy, deep conversations, and mutual support.
Nicknamed “Joku” by viewers, the pair seemed like reality TV’s unshakable duo.
But behind the smiles and champagne toasts, something shifted—and now, Nonku is speaking out.
Nonku Breaks Her Silence on Their Sudden Rift
Taking to Instagram, Nonku poured her heart out in a candid statement, hoping to clear the air.
She said she never meant to hurt Jojo and didn’t intend for their friendship to fall apart.
According to Nonku, some of her past comments were blown out of proportion for drama’s sake.
Her biggest regret? Referring to their bond as “surface level”—something she now wishes she could take back.
Cracks That Began in Season Five
While seasons two through four painted them as inseparable, season five of RHOD told a different story.
Fans noticed Jojo pulling away, and when Nonku was reported to have said their friendship was more for TV than real life, things spiraled.
Jojo apparently cut ties completely—blocking Nonku and walking away from the friendship.
Nonku Reflects on Growth, Faith and Intentions
In her statement, Nonku explained that she’s been on a spiritual journey, one that’s made her reevaluate how she navigates friendships.
She says she’s learning how to be more thoughtful in her words and wants to protect parts of her life from the spotlight.
Her faith, she shared, is a private space, and she’s been trying to figure out how to balance that with her public persona.
“Different Friends Serve Different Needs”
One key point Nonku made was that not all friendships are the same—and that’s okay.
She mentioned that while Jojo is a dear friend, she sometimes turns to others for spiritual support, like prayer in the middle of the night.
That doesn’t mean Jojo isn’t trustworthy, she clarified—it’s just that every friendship fills a different need in her life.
Privacy Over Performance
Nonku emphasized that her decision to be more private wasn’t a rejection of Jojo.
Rather, it was about holding sacred spaces for herself that don’t always need to be broadcasted to followers or turned into content.
She said she hopes Jojo understands that her silence wasn’t about exclusion but about setting boundaries that come from growth.
Plans for a Reconciliation
Despite the tension, Nonku hasn’t given up on their friendship.
She shared that she’s already reached out and that they’re planning to meet in person.
She wants Jojo to know that their relationship still means something to her, and she’s ready to nurture it in a way that respects both their journeys.
“I Still Love Her” – Nonku’s Final Words
Ending her message on a heartfelt note, Nonku made it clear: she still loves Jojo.
The spiritual growth she’s been experiencing was never about walking away from her friend—it was about becoming more herself.
She hopes Jojo can see that and that they can rebuild what they had, even if it looks different now.
Will These Two Find Their Way Back?
It’s a tough situation—one many friendships go through, especially when life and personal growth start to pull people in new directions.
Whether they reunite or simply respect each other from afar, one thing is clear: there’s still love there.
