At this point, he’s mastered the art of hosting the Real Housewives’ reunions.
He knows just how to handle the ladies and their gusbands.
From their crying, shouting and insults to them walking out and attempting physical fights, MaBlerh has seen it all.
This season, there was a bit of hope that this wouldn’t be the case at first.
However, Sorisha’s efforts to have the ladies heal fell not only on deaf ears but turned into an opportunity for most of them to just forgive themselves.
Then it all spiralled out of control with Angel clapping back to being called the baby of the group, being caught up in her lies, her infertility issues and Zama’s reaction to these insensitively. For someone who has similar problems, one would’ve expected her to be more empathetic.

But then again, this is the same person who cried foul when there was a mention of Maria’s lips as though she didn’t body shame Sorisha multiple times.
In all the seasons we’ve had Sorisha, this is the season where she’s gotten the most nicknames, disguised as compliments.
From ape hairline to Michael Jackson, walithwala idombolo (she carried the dumpling)!
Pulling up in a Toyota Cressida at the reunion, MaBlerh’s seemed to be ready to dish it all out on the table: “Blind loyalty, camps and who exactly is the puppet master”.
He shares his house rules with Drum.
”The main rule will always be no biting, no yelling and no screaming. No walking out is always up there as well.”
His biggest shock was just how everyone had their gloves off.
“My biggest shock this season was how the gloves were off. It was just pure unadulterated share from the get-go.”
Although there was no particular problematic person this season, he says the divide in and of itself was problematic.
“I would say not an individual particularly. It was how they cemented the camps and moved in camps throughout,” he tells Drum.

From what he saw unfold throughout the season, the radio and TV personality says he was expecting more from Ameigh.
“I feel that there is more she could have given us. She has it in her.”
With the first part of the reunion having dropped today, 15 May 2024, we still have surviving elephants in the room, despite these issues having been addressed, Zama’s age and Slee's "witchracft" included.
At the end of it, Nonku's question to Slee still stands, "Have you healed now that you've sat down with my ex?"
More questions from the audience are nowhere near being answered though.
Is Nonku and RD’s case still in court? What progress has been made? Did they ever meet up again since their messy breakup?
What really happened to Angel’s boyfriend after they had been so close to getting married and pregnant?
Is Sorisha really the puppet master or people are just being puppets and lap dogs to her to get a jet lift?
That moved so fast.

So, is what Aimee saying confirming that the hijacking was fake?
Or is she saying the person who took the images was one of the hijackers? #RHODurban#RHODReunion

-Zama and Nonku carried. They were the stand outs.
-Slee almost carried
-Sorisha tried to play the nice peaceful lady act. We've seen the real you so that act is not gonna work.
-Jojo ate Slee up
-Maria didn't really stand out
- Angel be lying
-Ameigh. #RHODurban pic.twitter.com/wEuCTV6yOM

I hope Mablerh asks Chantelle about her “college” and the students who were not registered but took the money and fled.

I also want to hear RD’s side of the story, I hope he was invited to the reunion. #RHODurban

The second part of the reunion drops on 22 May, perhaps that’s where we’ll get our answers.
