I cried because I’m one of the cast members who was constantly doubted in terms of “belonging”. Not that I’ve ever needed validation, but this was a stamp that I definitely belong in the world ofHousewives. How would you describe the overall energy of the trip compared to your usual franchise?
Ndlela:Absolutely amazing. At no point was I nervous or anxious about meeting anyone; in fact, I made it a point that I would enjoy this to the fullest, not allowing anything to make me feel otherwise. What surprised you the most about filming with housewives from other African cities and countries?
Ndlela:What surprised me the most was that we were picked accordingly; we have such similar personalities, some more extreme than others, but we were all very strong, opinionated and assertive. It was an interesting dynamic to see play out because nobody backs down, and that makes for great television. What personal goals did you set for yourself before joining the cast?
