1. MBALI NGIBA New RHOD season three housewife Mbali Ngiba is a musician, actress and the co-founder of African Centric Designs.

She is best-known for her role as Buhle on the defunct Mzansi Magic telenovela Isibaya. Mbali also had a role as Welile on another defunct Mzansi Magic telenovela Greed and Desire.

I joined Season 3 as it felt like a great opportunity for me to be a part of such a successful franchise amongst such amazing women. When watching Season 1 and 2, I couldn't shake off the feeling that I'd also add great value as a cast member. So when they approached me I agreed. I also joined because I'd like to see some personal growth within myself as an individual and as a business, Mbali said about joining RHOD.

The Real Housewives of Durban is such an amazing platform, where women can showcase their personalities and talents. The show consists of cast members that have very strong personas and I think that my personality will help balance out the various types of energies that we all have. The decision to join is also rooted in my activism for women empowerment and mental health. So I believe that by having this cohesion with the other six ladies, we can definitely use this platform to make change and inspire other women.

-- 3. SLINDILE WENDY NDLOVU Slindile is a human resource consultant by qualification, with experience in events management and interior designing. She is also the founder of events management company Mawesi Consulting.

I echo my cast members' sentiments about the vast opportunities The Real Housewives of Durban presents for all of us, and especially for our overall personal growth. For me, this is an avenue to start all over and rebuild not only as an individual but also as a single mother. I come from a six-year relationship, which I feel I wasted my time and energy in. I gave it my all, so when that didn't work out, I thought, Why not? Let me try this.' This platform grants you the chance to promote and rebrand, especially when you're coming from a place of starting over again, Slindile said.
