Fans are standing firmly behind Londie London after the media personality and entrepreneur announced plans to take legal action against radio presenter Minnie Ntuli.
The legal move follows a season-long feud between Ntuli and London on The Real Housewives of Durban. The tension reached a boiling point in the two-part reunion, where unseen footage was aired showing a heated confrontation between the two, drawing strong reactions from viewers.
In the unseen clip, tensions flared as the pair tried to resolve their issues. Ntuli accused London of disrespecting her parents, stating that a question about her upbringing was a direct insult to her family.
The confrontation erupted after London directly questioned Ntuli with the phrase “Uzalwe ubani” (meaning “who gave birth to you”), insinuating that her behaviour showed a lack of respect and proper upbringing.
Ntuli aggressively threw a cushion, confronted London, and accused her of disrespecting and “dishonouring” her parents before forcefully poking her forehead, an intense moment that shocked viewers and left many questioning what they had just witnessed.
Despite facing both verbal and physical aggression, London held her ground, she called Ntuli a “horrible person” and a “bully”.
As part two of the reunion came to a close, London revealed she would be pursuing legal action. On July 16, she shared on social media the legal documents, which stated:
“We can confirm that we act on behalf of Ms Londiwe Zulu, hereinafter referred to as our client, and on whose instruction, we write this letter to your good selves.
"Take note that our client elects our offices as her domicilium citandi et executandi, at which addresses she shall henceforth receive all communications, notices and pleadings relating to the matter herein, without limiting the generality thereof."
"Our failure to address any aspect relating to this matter should not be construed as a waiver of our client’s rights, and we reserve on behalf of our client the right to do so at the relevant forum and when appropriate and necessary…
"It is further our instructions that during the second episode of the reunion aired on 11 July 2025, you assaulted our client unprovoked and continued to do so even when she was not physically responding to your assault.
The legal document further demands that Ntuli issue a video apology and share it across all her social media accounts.
"We demand from you as we hereby do that you record a sincere video apology, which you should send to us and post on all your social media accounts by 17H00 on Wednesday 16 July 2025, failing which we hold instructions to sue for damages and open an assault case with the South African Police Services." The document reads.
Before London revealed her plans to take legal action, Ntuli shared a statement expressing remorse, admitting that seeing her own actions unfold on screen was both painful and disturbing.
"Over the past few weeks, I’ve had to come face-to-face with the impact of my actions on The Real Housewives of Durban. Watching the show back has been deeply confronting—I am appalled by how I behaved, and I take full accountability for the role I played.
“I want to sincerely apologise to the affected cast members. I know my actions hurt others, and for that, I am truly sorry. I have reached out to them privately and publicly, and I remain committed to making amends, including having face-to-face conversations if and when they are open to it.
"I’ve also taken time to engage with Gagasi FM management regarding the negative attention my participation in the show has brought to the station. While my work on radio and my presence on the show are two separate platforms, both Gagasi FM and I agree that it is important I take accountability. The station has expressed disappointment in my behaviour, and together we’ve agreed that I will seek professional counselling to address my emotional responses." The statement reads.
Social media users took to Instagram to express their support for London.

"We applaud @londie_london_official. 'You will not, do not speak to me like that, you will keep quiet when I speak.' " Thank you, Londie, for standing up for yourself! Bullies can be finished, please apologise to that auntie, time has gone," said @thalizie_zuma.
"Louder…well-done, Londie, may this be a lesson," said @ winniezandile.
"Continue with the case after the apology. Minnie has to be made an example. We are tired of bullies‼️‼️" said @Nkatekonkati1.
"You could’ve sued for a whole lot, but you decided to give her an opportunity to redeem herself! Your level of self-awareness is to be studied, Mama," said @Tinyiko.m.
"She’s lucky there’s still an option to apologise and not just get arrested! You're very sweet, Mama, and that’s a good thing. I just hope her pride doesn’t control her coz you're not asking for much!" said @Gabisilet.
