SEASON 4 of The Real Housewives of Durban came with even more chaos than the previous seasons and there is no doubt the reunion will be a fiery affair.

Set to air in two parts on May 15 and 22 on Showmax, reunion host, Mthokozisi “MaBlerh” Cele, promises to leave “no stone unturned”.

The radio and TV personalit­y will be helming Africa’s longestrun­ning franchise show reunion for the second time in a row. He comes with plenty of television reunion experience and knows just how to get the ladies talking.

In a statement, he said: “I know how heavily invested the audience is in The Real Housewives of Durban, which is why I can never go in there and be flippant.”

MaBlerh also hosted The Real Housewives of Gqeberha season 1 and The Real Housewives of Johannesbu­rg season 3 reunions.

“There are people who wake up at midnight to watch the show, so I know that I have to take it seriously and deliver on all fronts.

“I’m excited to be back for the second time, it’s going to be a more comfortabl­e experience for the ladies because we now have a rapport,” he said.

This season saw many juicy and intense moments and MaBlerh promises viewers that he will address many of the antics that took place this season at the reunion.

“When I approached the reunion last year, it was different. Things were very heated and the ladies were barely speaking to one another, so I had to be very sensitive and aware of everything that had happened.

“With season 4, it’s going to be different because it is not the same season, but I’m still going to get to the bottom of things and I’ll hold the ladies accountabl­e for the things they have said and done.”

Knowing that the success of the show comes from its fans, the media personalit­y is determined to be the viewer’s voice.

“I am there to represent the viewers. I’ve been watching the tweets, concerns and comments, and, trust me, all of those things will be addressed.

“I do not operate in a vacuum. I watch, and after every episode, I am on social media looking at what the sentiment is. If you have tweeted under the hashtag #RHODurban, your concerns will be covered.”

Join “Housewives” Nonku Williams, Sorisha Naidoo, Jojo Robinson, Maria Valaskatzi­s, Slindile Wendy Ndlovu, Ameigh Sibahle Thompson, Nqobile “Angel” Ndlela and Zamaswazi Ngcobo on the couch with MaBlerh in the riveting two-part season reunion, which is set to air on Showmax on May 15 and 22.
