MaBlerh speaks on hosting Real Housewives of Durban Reunion

In an interview with TshisaLive, MaBlerh shared his thoughts on the RHOD Season 5 reunion. He shared his approach to hosting the reunion.

MaBlerh said his main goal was to hold every cast member accountable for their behaviour throughout Season 5. He said he acted as a middleman, asking the tough questions many people had expressed on social media or shouting at their screens.

“I am a vessel for the viewers. It is the viewers who are always baying for the ladies to account for their actions and words. I merely facilitate that process by asking relevant questions,” he explained.

“Season 5 took me by surprise. I didn't expect the drama to reach the level that it did. I thought the new ladies were going to take some time and settle in. Little did I know,” MaBlerh added.

MaBlerh also shared that the headline-grabbing incident between Londie London and Minnie Ntuli caught him off guard. He shared that he hadn’t anticipated how badly things would spiral between the duo. MaBlerh described the incident as his biggest shock of the season.

“I honestly did not expect the drama between Minnie and Londie to escalate to the level that we saw,” MaBlerh told TshisaLive.

Speaking to Briefly News, relationship expert Paula Quinsee shared why apologies are important even in public relationships.

Quinsee said they can help fix damaged relationships and help people grow.

"A sincere public apology shows that relationships, despite being in the spotlight, require accountability, which can help individuals in their own growth, and repair the rupture at the same time restoring the relationship," she shared.

Paula Quinsee warned that a half-hearted apology or a defensive apology can make things worse in the public eye and the relationship itself.

"The key is authenticity because if an apology feels flaky, vague, or defensive, it can have the opposite effect and deepen the damage both in the public’s eye and within the relationship," Quinsee warned.
