LACONCO RETURNS TO REALITY TV  

Businesswoman LaConco recently discussed returning to RHOD and scoring a TV presenting gig on Mzansi Magic family show Ingan’Yam.   

LaConco who’s become a fan-favourite housewife on the Real Housewives of Durban (RHOD) has returned to the second season of the reality TV show.  

The reality stated in the interview with the publication that she is using her fame to impact people’s lives positively.  

“I never planned to be famous or to be on the small screen.”

“But this seems to be the direction God is leading me towards.”  

She adds that she came back for the new season because she believes in “finishing what you’ve started”.  

There were misconceptions of who she might be in season one.  

“People thought I was ducking and diving questions about my personal life.”

“They thought I am secretive, I’m a bully and a tribalist and it’s incorrect”.  

“I am a very deep person, and you will understand me if you listen carefully.”

“Angikhulumi budlaba (I speak carelessly and not out of turn).”  

The businesswoman says she avoided or chose not to answer as she was protecting only what she knew. She felt the timing and platform was not right.

PRESENTING INGAN’YAM  

LaConco recently replaced RHOJ reality star – Lethabo ‘Lejoy’ Mathato as a presenter in Mzansi Magic’s Ingan’Yam.  

The show is about parents who introduce their children from the past to their spouses and families to help the children get a sense of belonging.  

She took the gig because she wants to uplift and build a better community and has always been doing it.  

“In almost every community I have visited or where I come from. I would speak to youth, women would come to me and seek for advice, young and old.”  

“I took the opportunity to get a chance to work with families and have a positive result, why not?”
