Gagasi FM’s Minnie Ntuli is officially back on the airwaves. The popular radio presenter returned to her morning slot on The Uprising alongside Felix Hlophe after stepping away from her duties in July. The station announced the news on Monday morning through a social media post, confirming that Ntuli has resumed her role.
While Ntuli was away, her chair on the popular breakfast show was temporarily filled by fellow presenter Nkulee Mbatha. Fans of the show welcomed the change but have now expressed excitement about Ntuli’s comeback.
Her absence came after a dramatic fallout that unfolded during The Real Housewives of Durban reunion. A never-before-seen clip was aired, showing Londiwe “Londie London” Zulu questioning Ntuli about her upbringing. The heated exchange quickly spiraled out of control, with Ntuli verbally and physically lashing out at Londie London.
Ntuli faced major backlash for her behavior on and off screen. She was accused of bullying Londie London on several occasions, even calling her a “gold digger” and claiming she was “working on her back.” The confrontation sparked outrage among fans and industry peers.
Realizing the gravity of her actions, Ntuli publicly apologised. “I’ve had to come face to face with the impact of my actions on The Real Housewives of Durban,” she wrote. “Watching the show back has been deeply confronting – I’m appalled by how I behave, and I take full accountability for the role I played.”
Despite the apology, Londie London took legal steps. Through her legal representatives at Lamula KB Attorneys, she accused Ntuli of defamation and assault. “It is our instruction that during the second episode of the reunion aired on July 11, 2025, you assaulted our client unprovoked and continued to do so even when she was not physically responding to your assault,” her legal team stated.
The clash escalated when Ntuli poked Londie London in the forehead while shouting insults. Londie London, though visibly shocked, remained calm and labelled Ntuli a “bully.”
Gagasi FM acknowledged Ntuli’s behavior at the time and reassured listeners that she had apologised to both the production team and her fellow castmates. “Our focus is on promoting reconciliation. Both Minnie and the other cast members are professionals in the media industry, and it is likely they will work together again in future,” the station said.
Now, with Ntuli back on air, the station is clearly ready to move forward. The reaction from fans has been overwhelmingly positive, with many flooding the station’s social media post with supportive messages and celebrating her much-anticipated comeback.
