Showmax has officially confirmed that MaBlerh will host The Real Housewives of Durban reunion for the third consecutive year. Known for his calm demeanour and ability to ask tough questions respectfully, MaBlerh is set to lead the much-anticipated two-part reunion, airing on 4 July and 11 July 2025.
The Season 5 finale, which dropped on 13 June 2025, sent shockwaves across South Africa, becoming the number-one trending topic nationwide. From unresolved grudges to unexpected twists, the final episode—set during the cast’s emotionally charged trip to Mauritius—left viewers stunned. The night’s most shocking moment came when Nonku received an anonymous letter, prompting her abrupt exit from the dinner table. The contents of the letter remain a mystery, sparking countless fan theories online.
With tensions running high, the upcoming reunion promises serious confrontations and, hopefully, some much-needed closure.
MaBlerh, who made history as the first African to host multiple reunions within The Real Housewives franchise—including The Real Housewives of Gqeberha Season 1 and The Real Housewives of Johannesburg Season 3—says he’s ready for the challenge once again.
“The show has a lot of loyal viewers, and I intend to step in and represent all of their views. They have burning questions that need answers. Being back for the third time is an honour I don’t take lightly. It’s a big job that requires sensitivity, because these ladies are opening up and sharing their lives with us, so some of the topics are deeply personal.”
says MaBlerh
He also assures fans that no topic will be off-limits.
“This year, I’m making sure that no stone is left unturned. Everyone needs to be held accountable for what they’ve said and done, so we can reach real resolution. This is not just about drama for entertainment; it’s about honesty, clarity, and sometimes even healing.”

MaBlerh says he’s been closely following fan discussions online and will incorporate their feedback into the reunion.
“I’m there to represent the viewers. I’ve seen the tweets, I’ve read the comments and concerns – and trust me, everything will be addressed. People have been asking the same questions week after week. I hear them. And I’m going to ask those same questions in that reunion chair.”
he says
With accountability at the forefront, the RHOD Season 5 reunion is shaping up to be one of the most gripping yet.
