During an Instagram Live on Sunday, she admitted she joined the show to get exposure for her business.

“I never saw this coming. When I went to the Real Housewives of Durban  I never [anticipated] the impact it would bring. When I did it, I wanted exposure for my business mostly and what I got was way beyond what I anticipated,” she said.

Mabusi said she was surprised she still had supporters even after the  show wrapped  in April.

“This show happened how many months ago? And you guys still remember! You guys are amazing. You are not forced to love me but the love is so overwhelming. The love, the hugs, wow. I don’t take any of this for granted. I’m grateful, God bless you all,” she said.

“I don’t know how to be anything besides myself and I’m amazed by how you guys see through people and pay attention to whether people are real or not. I found out during the show that people do pay attention to whether people are real or not, read between the lines and choose the best characters.”
