Angel Ndlela Breaks Her Silence Amid Backlash From ‘The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Africa’

• Angel Ndlela finally broke her silence amid the viral criticism surrounding her conduct on The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Africa
• The reality star is facing significant backlash from viewers and peers alike, with many condemning her "mean girl" persona and describing her recent outbursts as both disruptive and out of character for the franchise
• She casually updated her social media feed with new posts and was immediately met with a wave of condemnation, as followers used the comments section to hold her accountable for her on-screen behaviour

While many expected an apology, Angel Ndlela’s first public response since the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Africa controversy has only added fuel to the fire, leaving fans questioning if the reality star truly understands the impact of her words or if she simply doesn't care.

Her recent behaviour on the show, specifically towards her castmate Christal Kay, has been widely condemned by viewers and labelled as unnecessary and disgusting. However, it appears that she is unmoved by the comments.

Taking to her Instagram page on 31 December 2025, Angel reflected on a whirlwind year of being exposed to public scrutiny and expressed her excitement for a new year of intentional living and walking with God.

"Absolutely love the young woman I have become. Not many can say their transition was displayed for the world to see, weigh in on, praise and support, but also scrutinise & criticise. But I thank God nonetheless."

In her stories, she shared a video of herself listening to Sabrina Carpenter's Good Graces in her car, while in another update, she advertised a job post for a plumber, signifying her apparent indifference to the online backlash.

The posts were shared just days after the Real Housewives of Durban star announced a sudden social media break, which came amid the growing backlash from viewers regarding her explosive behaviour.

Long known for her unfiltered approach to reality TV, Angel now finds herself on the wrong side of public sentiment after a series of televised outbursts that fans have labelled as more disrespectful than genuine, crossing the line between "real" and "rude."
