Former RHOD star Annie Mthembu is saluting her one-time castmate Nonku Williams for her emotional and powerful debut on Showmax’s new reality series Untied — a show that’s already sparking nationwide conversations on divorce, trauma, and healing.
Taking to Instagram, Annie showered Nonku with praise for her bravery in opening up about her past, saying:
“Your courage to share your truth will undoubtedly liberate many women who find themselves trapped in silence… Thank you for showing such grace and strength in bringing it to light.”
Annie, who starred on Real Housewives of Durban from Season 1 through Season 3, added heartfelt gratitude to Showmax for providing a platform that allows real, raw conversations to unfold:
“A heartfelt thank you to @showmaxonline for creating a platform that fosters open, necessary dialogue around abuse, divorce, and the complex realities behind them.”
In the premiere episode of Untied, Nonku revealed harrowing details of her past — including an abusive marriage and the deeply painful journey through divorce. Known for her fierce presence on RHOD, Nonku showed a new side to viewers — vulnerable, spiritual, and healing out loud.
“I believe everything happens for a reason,” Nonku said. “My message is for any woman who feels lost or ashamed — it’s not the end. It’s a season. You will overcome it.”
With celebrities like Annie now rallying behind her, Nonku’s story is already resonating far and wide — turning pain into purpose and reminding women everywhere that speaking up is the first step toward healing.
