Real Housewives’ Nonku Williams is engaged to her ‘Rough Diamond’

A secretly recorded video shows Real Housewives of Durban star Nonku Williams getting engaged to her 'gangster man'.


From the moment their relationship first appeared on screen, there have been questions about the authenticity of the relationship between Real Housewives of Durban stars Nonku Willams and Dumisani Ndlazi popularly referred to as ‘Rough Diamond’.

Ndlazi joined the show in the third season which is currently airing on the streaming platform Showmax and he is said to have come into Nonku Williams’ life after she had practised celibacy for a year. 

‘Gangster man’

Upon seeing Dumisani for the first time, viewers threw out the old adage about not judging a book by its cover and immediately assumed he was somehow involved in criminal activity. Their belief was further compounded by the fact that he gifted Nonku with a car early on in the season. 

Nonku later addressed the fan comments in a cringeworthy video where she referred to him as her gangster man. 

“My gangster man. Hello gangster man, are you ready to murder somebody?… Let’s kill them, masambe siyo ba bulala,” said Nonku after breathing heavily while staring into the camera, making faces and gesturing as though she is going to kiss Ndlazi.

She has since taken the video down.

‘Khona into’ e off’ 

All season long, RHODurban viewers have been using the popular social media phrase ‘khona into’ e off’ to share their thoughts about the seemingly inorganic relationship between the two. 

Ndlazi is very awkward on screen and many viewers feel as though he and Nonku are hiding something about their relationship. At the time of writing, the prevailing belief was that their relationship was purely an act meant to give Nonku something to talk about this season besides her celibacy journey. However, with their engagement, it seems as though the relationship may be more serious than it appears to be. 

Who is Dumisani Ndlazi?

We couldn’t find out much about Ndlazi apart from the fact that he is an entrepreneur and businessman who is said to have started a company called Digital Minds. 

Other than the fact that he is dating Nonku Williams and starring in the latest season of RHODurban, not much else is known about him.

There has been a man with the same name listed in past police reports about crimes and convictions in KwaZulu-Natal, however, The Citizen has not yet been able to confirm whether or not it is the same person.
