Nonku Williams' Husband, Relationships and Family Life
Nonku Williams’ love life has been a major controversy during her time in The Real Housewives of Durban. The reality tv star is a proud mother of three. She has one daughter and two younger sons.
The paternity of her daughter, Nothile Williams or sometimes called Nothile Ncwane has been a major source of drama. Nothile Williams, the eldest among her three children was a product of her brief relationship with the late Sfiso Ncwane, a famous musician in South Africa. Her revelations regarding her daughter’s paternity attracted controversies because of the fact that her daughter was born during the marriage of Sfiso Ncwane and her wife businesswoman Ayanda Ncwane which meant that they had a relationship while Sfiso Ncwane was married. This was especially controversial since Ayanda Ncwane was also a part of the reality show.
Unfortunately, Sfiso Ncwane died in 2016. However, he and Nonku already broke up years before his death because the late gospel singer chose to be with his wife Ayanda Ncwane than to be with her. The Real Housewives of Durban star gained a lot support during the first season of the reality show for not being like other baby mamas of famous people who go all lengths just to get child support, even engaging in unnecessary dramas.
However, this image of a strong independent mother who is willing to go all lengths just to be able to provide for her children without having to beg their fathers for support was quickly tainted at the beginning of season 2 when she along with her mother, obliged her co-star and the legal wife of Sfiso to pay Nonku inhlawulo (damages) for Nonku’s daughter Nothile Ncwane. This demand from Nonku and her mother gained a lot of backlash on social media, with people expressing their support for Ayanda Ncwane.
Nonku Williams’ other children are Musuwakhe Williams (9) and Phendulile Williams (4). Phendulile was a miracle baby. He was born out of In-vitro fertilization (IVF). The process was emotionally draining for Williams since she had to face 2 IVF fails before having Phendulile. On her youngest’s 4th birthday, Nonku penned a heart-warming message for her son. The name Phendulile means God’s answered prayers, according to Williams.
Nonku Williams and the father of her two younger sons divorced after 5 years of marriage. The identity of her ex-husbandwas never revealed. However, the reason for their divorce was because of marital dispute. (3)

Real Housewives of Durban Storyline for Nonku Williams

She is cast alongside Sorisha Naidoo, Nonkanyiso Conco, Ayanda Ncwane, Kgomotso Ndungane, Annie Mthembu, Thobile MaKhumalo Mseleku, Londie London, and JoJo Robinson.
Nonku Williams stood out from the reality show right from the very beginning. During the first episode of the reality show, Nonku Williams already dropped a very huge bomb which left the viewers shocked. She revealed on live television that she bore the late gospel singer Sfiso Ncwane a daughter. This revelation was very controversial since Ayanda Mcwane, the wife of the late gospel singer was also there.
“I know you, and I know you know me,” was the first thing Nonku Williams said to Ayanda when they first met. This encounter excited a lot of viewers.
After the meeting, the two ladies decided to set aside their differences for the sake of their children. Ayanda Ncwane then proceeded to give Nothile Ncwane, Nonku’s daughter permission to see her father’s grave. Nothile was also able to meet her other sibling from her father’s side.
It was also revealed during the show that Sfiso’s mother, Irene knew of the existence of Nothile since Nonku would often visit her when Nothile was only 2 years old. However, the visits stopped and Irene looked for them to no avail. She now wishes to see her granddaughter.
In season 2, Nonku Williams gained a lot of backlashes when she and her mother demanded that Ayanda pay them damages for Notholie. Some fans said that it’s not Ayanda’s fault and she should not pay them a dime since she’s not the one who got her pregnant in the first place.
Nonku also demanded that her daughter be given the surname Ncwane since Sfiso wasn’t able to do it since he died. This angered viewers, saying that they are insensitive for demanding that to the widow of the man she had an affair with. They have been called rude by various people on social media for the demands.
