The Season 4 reunion of The Real Housewives of Durban left fans reeling as OG housewife Sorisha Naidoo stormed off in tears, leaving behind a cloud of uncertainty about her future on the show. In an exclusive interview following the intense reunion, Sorisha bares it all about her emotions and the state of her relationships with her co-stars.
With tensions at an all-time high, the ladies put all of their issues on the table in Part 2 of the reunion and discussed why they could not move forward as a group. Over the years, The Real Housewives of Durban has had two camps, and Season 4 is no different. In one camp, you have OG Sorisha Naidoo, Slee Ndlovu, who joined in Season 3, and newcomers Ameigh Thompson and Angel Ndlela. In the other camp, you have OG housewife Nonku Williams, Jojo Robinson, who joined in Season 2, Maria Valaskatzis, who joined in Season 3, and newcomer Zama Ngcobo.
Throughout the season, there have been talks from the ladies about there being a puppet master in the group, and MaBlerh asked the ladies directly to name who they thought was the puppet master. Jojo and Maria pointed fingers at Sorisha, while Sorisha and Angel implicated Jojo.
In her first interview post-reunion, Sorisha reflects on the aftermath of the explosive finale and her decision to leave the reunion early. “It was very hard to watch the final episode and not feel a certain way about it,” she admits. “I feel very disheartened that nobody felt that they had to apologize to me.”
However, despite the turmoil of the reunion, Sorisha finds comfort in her inner circle. “The minute I came back to my family, my friends, and my inner circle, I felt so calm and balanced,” she reveals. “I left everything that happened at the reunion. I am in a good place, surrounded by love and positive energy.”
Addressing her departure from the reunion, she explains, “I was there for 90% of the time. I was hoping that we would clarify some issues and be able to amicably work some things out, but that did not happen.”
When asked about post-reunion dynamics, Sorisha revealed, “For me, my friends are the awesome foursome. We are still tight. We still chat on the daily, and, now more than ever, I have cemented how I feel about everyone else.”
Reflecting on personal growth during Season 4, Sorisha shared, “Season 4 gave me some lessons. Watching the show, there were things I uncovered about myself. I learned to trust in myself more and not always want to please people.”
As for her future on the show, Sorisha remains open to the possibility of returning for Season 5 under certain conditions. “If there is a major shakeup, and the show is more aspirational, and we see each other as women and not anything else, I would be back,” she asserts.
