Reality TV star Jojo Robinson has emotionally bid farewell to her friendship with former The Real Housewives of Durban (RHOD) co-star Nonku Williams.
JOJO MOURNS THE END OF HER FRIENDSHIP WITH NONKU
Jojo and Nonku’s friendship began in the second season of the show. They quickly formed a strong and inseparable bond. From travelling together to enjoying outings, their connection grew so close that fans affectionately nicknamed them “Joku.”
However, in Season 5 of the show, visible cracks formed in their friendship, raising questions about where things went wrong. After hearing Nonku claim their friendship was only for the cameras, Jojo chose to end their relationship for good.
During the RHOD reunion Part 2, Jojo was stunned to hear Nonku allegedly dismiss their once-strong, sisterly friendship. Not long after, Nonku praised Beverley Steyn online, seemingly hinting she had moved on from Jojo and their bond.
Confused and hurt, Jojo emotionally shared that she doesn’t fully understand what caused the sudden breakdown of their deep connection. She suspects Nonku moved on because she found someone she feels is a better fit for her life now.
A HEARTFELT LETTER TO NONKU
In a heartfelt post, Jojo poured out her emotions, saying their friendship was real, loving, and sisterly, not something created just for the cameras.
She said she avoided addressing the issue but felt compelled to respond after hurtful claims online dismissed their bond.
She penned a letter to Nonku saying: “Dear Nonkie Nonks, I hope you find peace and love with whoever you choose in this life. I loved every second we spent together, and I am forever grateful for the friendship we shared and the fact that you were a big part of my journey in this life. I understand that you are going in a different direction, and I hope one day we get to talk again in person.”
She continued, “But for now, because I know someone will send this to you, know that I’m grateful for you. I’m grateful for what you meant in this life to me, and I will always remember that, regardless of what happened, we always had each other. Now maybe it is time for us to start our journey as just Nonku and Jojo, not Joku anymore.”
Jojo said she forgave Nonku and apologised for any hurt she may have caused, adding that she now understood and was at peace. She wished Nonku love and peace, thanked her for being part of her life, and apologised to JoKu Nation for letting them down.
JOJO REVEALS SHE BLOCKED NONKU ON INSTAGRAM
Jojo later opened up on her Instagram Stories, becoming emotional about the end of their friendship. She admitted to blocking Nonku and now regrets it, as she had hoped to make things right.
The reality star shared that she’s been going through a lot emotionally and still hopes they will mend their friendship.
