“When God gives you a new beginning, it starts with an ending,” Londie London writes in a post.
The South African musician, model and songwriter, Londiwe Siphiwokuhle Zulu, popularly known as Londie London was certainly not wrong about the latter.
This is probably an opportunity for her to start all over again, on a clean slate. Given all the drama that was surrounding her and her children. It was all too much.
Though this might be sad for some supporters. Londie London together with some of the old cast members, Thobile MaKhumalo Mseleku and Nonkanyiso Conco (LaConco) will not be returning for the third season of the popular reality series, “The Real Housewives of Durban”. As announced this week.
Mseleku and Zulu both joined in the second season of the reality show. LaConco has been a part of the cast since season one. LaC, as she has become fondly known, has been a firm fan favourite since day with her unforgettable quotes, “Google me”.

Viewers slowly warmed up to newcomers Makhumalo and London last season along with Jojo Robinson who is returning for another season.
There were mixed reactions to the new ladies as viewers tried to get used to them as part of the cast.
Some viewers have been left disappointed that their favourites won’t be returning for another season and questioned their departure from the reality series.
Senior Mgr Reality & Entertainment Local Channels at Multichoice, Lerato Moruti explained to IOL Entertainment that:
“’Londi is now based in Johannesburg, while MaKhumalo and LaConco have new hosting gigs on Mzansi Wethu’s new reality series Ezomshado and Mzansi Magic’s Our Perfect Wedding respectively.”
While it’s sad to see MaKhumalo leave, it does not compare to the other two. Her storyline was always limited on the show and viewers can always watch her on “Uthando Nesthumbu”.
However, it is sad to see Mnge, LaC leave but with all the restrictions she had last season, her exit might be warranted.
Just like Annie Mthembu viewers want to know more about Petal and if you are not going to share then it becomes tricky.
As for London, she has moved back to Johannesburg after her failed engagement with Hlubi Nkosi.
When she arrived on the show, she explained she moved from Johannesburg to Durban to be a mother and wife. But things did not go according to plan.Instead, her relationship with Nkosi last year, after season two had ended, became the talk of the town due to infidelity rumours on his end. After welcoming their second child.

The trailer for season three is serving quality production and it seems the show’s international reputation is being maintained.
Plus, it looks far from boring and newcomers; eThekwini queens Maria Valaskatzis, Mbali Ngiba and Slindile Wendy Ndlovu are set to bring class, glamour, sass and drama to the reality series.
“The Real Housewives of Durban” airs on February 1 with new episodes dropping every Wednesday.
