The Real Housewives of Cape Town star Beverly Steyn is currently in a court battle with former friend, Real Housewives of Durban star Nonku Williams over unpaid loan.
BEV STEYN AND NONKU WILLIAMS IN COURT BATTLE
Reality stars Beverly Steyn and Nonku Williams both starred on Showmax’s The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip – South Africa and were formerly friends. However, Beverly is now taking Nonku to court to repay the R125 000 loan she lent her.
According to Beverly’s claim, the pair concluded a written loan agreement in August last year. The agreement was for a previous R25 000 that Beverly lent Nonku with no interest. There was also a new loan of R100 000, which had 50% interest.
As per reports, Nonku agreed to pay back both loans on or before 12 September 2025. Failure to repay the money by that date was said to result in a late interest charge of 30% on the total outstanding amount for each month until the full amount was repaid.
NONKU ORDERED TO PAY R126 710
The Pinetown magistrate’s court issued summons instructing Nonku to pay R126 710 within 10 days or give notice of her intention to defend the application on 26 February. This was an additional R1710, which was incurred by the Real Housewives of Cape Town star as a result of the account being handed over to her attorneys.
Nonku previously released a statement explaining why there was a delay in repaying the money. However, she has since deleted the post.
“I’m a single mom for the longest time and anyone in my shoes knows how heavy that responsibility can be. There’s a constant pressure to provide the very best for your children, especially the things you never had growing up. I can go without anything — I always have — but my kids have to be taken care of. That has always been my priority,” she wrote at the time.
“I also want to be clear about what actually transpired. As business owners know, payments can get delayed. That’s what happened here. I had every intention of paying her back fully. I have reached out to her previously and we were meant to resolve this matter privately,” she continued.
