SHOWMAX ON LONDIE’S EXIT FROM ‘RHOD’
Londie was a fan-favourite in the second season of the Showmax Original series, which is set in Durban. But, fans were shocked in January 2023 when new cast members were announced alongside the show’s returnees and her name did not feature on the list. The Suk’Emabhozeni singer ended up only appearing for two episodes.

At the time, Showmax’s reality and entertainment local channels senior manager, Lerato Moruti, said: “Londie is now based in Johannesburg while MaKhumalo and LaConco have new hosting gigs on Mzansi Wethu’s new reality series Ezomshado and Mzansi Magic’s Our Perfect Wedding respectively.
“We’re grateful for everything they brought to the show but are delighted with the mix of old and new faces this season, which is going to be a cracker.”

‘THERE WAS A VOICE AT THE BACK THAT WAS PAID’
Whilst Londie confirmed that she indeed relocated, she said she also suspects that someone had a hand in her exit.
“There were also some complications,” she told MacG and Sol.
She continued: “I don’t know the truth, but it felt like someone, there was a voice there at the back that was paid for me to not be there,” she said.

When MacG repeated her claim, she said: “It seemed that way because everyone was so confused.”
She added that at first she was told that she would be on six episodes and was later told that the number of episodes she’d appear in were reduced.
Londie said she thinks that the changes had to do with her relationship with her ex-fiance and father of her two children, Hlubi Nkosi, which had ended in April 2022.
