Businessman and Real Housewives of Durban’s Nonku Williams has opened up about her abusive marriage.

In a tearful and emotional four-minute video clip, titled “My Journey of Survival and Triumph”, she talks about her abusive marriage and how she survived it all.

The video clip was later shared on her Instagram account on Saturday.

In the video, she said: “Please allow me to share my journey. It’s not easy. As I speak I’m actually holding tears because the journey is hard.“I can come here looking all glammed up. Most people tell me I’m strong, but you know sometimes I hate that word because I’m not strong,” she said.

“I cry alone. I kneel down and ask God why I have so much of a burden.”

“I’ve never seen so much love. God knows me. He loves me. I went through a horrible marriage. I was abused mentally, physically and emotionally.“I was told I’d never amount to anything, but today you’re looking at a woman who’s found herself, who has found her identity. I know who I am and I know what I stand for.

“Yes, the battle is hard. Every day I have to remind myself that I’m alive and I have promise. I have three beautiful children. I’m blessed. Every day I look at myself in the mirror and remind myself that.”

She thanked her friends for being there for her.

“I appreciate all of you. I know I’m stubborn, but I also have faith. I don’t care what happens but I’ll never fall. Even if I do I shall rise again,” she said.

“Thank you so much for your support. It can look small but for me it’s big. Things have happened, and a whole lot has happened, but I have God.”

A handful of tweeps assured her that they could relate.

“You’re so authentic… love your story and I’m sure most females can relate to you,” wrote Magalelakazi.

Another Twitter user, Zama.yvonne, said: “Oh Nonku Nonku, I’m your fan and I truly admire you and your strength. Indeed it can only be God. Just like you said, God loves you so much, sisi. What I like most about you, having watched the RHOD, you are so authentic which is what makes you a true person.

“Never ever change who you are and know that you sharing your experiences in life is indeed encouraging and inspiring a lot of people, especially women out there. Thank you so much and I love you my sister. I hope to meet you in person one day.”

Sizwe Khoza commended: “My absolute favourite lady in this show. You’re so authentic, an amazing mother, sister, daughter. Keep pushing. You’re meant for greater things.”

RAPPER Duncan’s finally revealed his real bae in public after he became a laughing stock when his proposal went wrong in 2019.

Duncan, whose real name is Siphamandla Mbambo, posted a photo of himself and his bae on Facebook on Friday, 19 February and added a caption saying she’s been his wife since 2014.

He also revealed the proposal he did to a woman on Valentine’s Day two years ago was a publicity stunt.

The unknown girl had refused to go live on DJ Tira’s Facebook page when Duncan was kneeling down and proposing.

Some Mzansi people sympathised with Duncan while others were laughing after the woman refused to marry him when he proposed in front of many people at Gateway Mall, north of Durban.

He said he was pushing his single titled Sthandwa Sam Sak’dala, featuring Thee Legacy.

“In 2019 I was seeking attention for my song that was going to be released on 14 February during Valentine’s Day,’’ he said.“I planned the whole thing with my team and that’s why we were live using DJ Tira’s phone because he has more followers on Facebook than me.”

Duncan from KwaMashu, north of Durban, said they knew they were going to trend about the publicity stunt.

“Before we did it, I went home and explained it to my parents and told them I’d do the stunt proposal. I told them to not take it seriously because I was pushing my work.

“People must stop sympathising with me because I was pushing my song,” he said.

Duncan said he last saw the woman he proposed to on that day at the mall.

He said those who don’t believe him should tag the woman to confirm they were doing a stunt.

Duncan, who didn’t want to mention the name of his “wife”, said if people are really clever they’d know he wouldn’t go to such a busy mall to propose.

 Babes Wodumo is currently focussed on maintaining love-and-money-lives-here with her fiancé, stable mate, collaborator, etc., Mampintsha Shimora. The celebrity couple that is en route to finally saying I do, have for the past couple of years kept the tumultuousness of their relationship away from the scrutiny of the media. A skill that has been honed following the two discovering how detrimental it can be for a relationship to continue growing when placed under the scrutiny of the media. However, recently the “Indando Kazi” musician faced some scrutiny on Twitter when the matter of her weight was rehashed. This is not the first that the matter has been brought up. The first was during her and Mapintsha’s “Bonnie & Clyde” era. An image of the musician surfaced which suggested that she had a lost a drastic amount of weight. Due to the context of the time the image went viral, suggestions were that Babes Wodumo leaned on substance abuse to deal with the abuse that she faced at the hands of her now fiancé.

But then she returned with new music and supporting visuals and the conversation of her weight was forgotten. Moreover, there were even suggestions that she was pregnant that were later dismissed. Therefore, when a recent image of the star surfaced and due to the awkward pose she was standing in, she was suggested to have continued on the trajectory of losing more weight. However, due to the current status of her relationship, the blame has not fallen on Mampintsa. But the weight loss has been attributed to the allegations that Babes Wodumo is a substance abuse addict.
