MaBlerh to host The Real Housewives of Durban Reunion 

The two-part #RHODurban reunion special will air on 3 and 10 May 2023 on Showmax. In the final scene, apologies were made but the “last supper” confrontation between Nonku and Slee saw hands being thrown.

With so much drama to unpack, a strong host was needed and Durban-born media personality and conversation curator Mthokozisi Cele, better known as MaBlerh, was approached for the role.

“The reunion of the Real Housewives has never been hosted by someone from Durban before, someone who understands the landscape and social dynamics of us as Durbanites,” he shared.

No stranger to the spotlight, MaBlerh is the smooth voice behind Kaya 959’s popular “The Weekend Update with MaBlerh” show.

He was a panellist on Mzansi Magic’s “Black Conversations”, a co-host on SABC3 talk show “Trending SA” and was cast in “Isibaya” as Justice Mnguni. The former publicist and blogger has a Bachelor of Economics from Rhodes University.

During the finale, the ladies drew a line in the sand regarding their friendships. On the one side, Nonku and Jojo have made it clear that they are okay with moving on with their friendship without the other ladies. On the other side, Annie, Slee, Sorisha, Maria and sometimes Sane have formed a friendship that is separate from the two ladies. Mbali has tried to stay on the fence, avoiding taking a stance on the “team” she’s in. In the final scene of Season 3, apologies were made but the “last supper” confrontation between Nonku and Slee is what sparked the most conversations online. 

The season’s not over yet though, as Showmax will be airing the reunion in two parts on 3 May 2023 and 10 May 2023. A big fan of the show, MaBlerh credits himself as one of the first people to publicly ask for a “Housewives” show that focuses on the ladies in Durban. “During the airing of the first season of The Real Housewives of Joburg, I tweeted that we need The Real Housewives of Durban because I knew that the Durban ladies would deliver the goods. My wish came true and I have been glued to the screen since the pilot.”

MaBlerh assured fans that he will not take his new job lightly. “It’s been a hard-hitting season, so it would be remiss of me and a disservice to the fans of the show to go in there and not ask hard-hitting questions. Nothing is off limits and everything that was on the show will be put on the table. Viewers should expect a host who will fully represent them. A host who’s a fan of the show. A host who will try his best to get the clarity we all need on everything that has happened during this season.”
