Lo Sithole and Fafa Kubheka get real about joining RHODurban S5
Africa’s longest running Housewives series, The Real Housewives of Durban, offers pure escapism and unfiltered drama.
New castmates Lo Sithole and Kwanele ‘Fafa’ Kubheka have quickly formed a close bond over the five episodes unwinding with spa days together and catching up over the inevitable drama that occurs at each of the cast’s sit-down events, including Nonku Williams’ apparent
misrepresentation of Lo’s Royal Ascot high tea event.
A 40-year-old pastor’s wife with strong traditional values, Lo co-owns the Industrial Training Centre in Pinetown, where she helps run an artisan training school. She and her family also lead Discovery Church.
Fafa is a 30-year-old wife, mother of four, entrepreneur and social media influencer.
Kwanele and Lo share about their journey joining the show, the drama that’s unfolded on-screen, and the overwhelming reactions from audiences to their personal stories.
What inspired you to join The Real Housewives of Durban?
Lo: My reason for joining the cast of RHOD was to have a life-changing experience, but also to offer the audience an authentic glimpse into the life of a pastor’s wife. I wanted to inspire young women in Christianity, showing them that life is still enjoyable and full of joy, even with Christ.
I aimed to demonstrate that life can be lived to the fullest, regardless of my position in the church. My main goal is to remain true to myself, proving that you can be focused, determined, and still enjoy life’s blessings.
Fafa: I’ve always been a naturally shy person and public speaking has never come easy to me.
But deep down, I felt it was time to challenge myself, step out of my comfort zone, and push past my fears.
I wanted to see if I could be more than just the quiet, reserved version of myself, and whether I could find my voice and share it with the world.
It’s been a journey, and honestly, it’s not always easy. There are still moments when I feel nervous or unsure but I’m learning to navigate those feelings. I’m proud of myself for taking the leap and joining the show, and I’m excited to see where this path leads me.
What lessons have you learned about yourself through your journey on the show?
Fafa: One of the most important lessons I’ve learned is the power of staying true to who I am.
It’s so easy to get caught up in the drama of reality TV but I’ve learned to take a step back, breathe, and focus on what really matters to me.
I’ve also grown in confidence. As a Housewife, I’ve been stereotyped and judged in ways I wasn’t expecting but I’ve learned to rise above it all and just focus on being the best version of myself. Ultimately, this experience has taught me the value of being self assured and authentic.
