After Christmas, several South African celebrities shared glimpses of their holiday celebrations with loved ones on social media. Among them, Ayanda Ncwane, the widow of the late gospel singer Sfiso Ncwane and a former cast member of The Real Housewives of Durban, shared lovely family snapshots on Instagram, captioning her post: “From our family to yours, wishing you a safe and merry Christmas.”
While the images radiated festive cheer and familial bonding, they also brought back conversations regarding past family dynamics, particularly the noticeable absence of Nothile, Sfiso’s daughter from a former relationship.

Family Connections and Public Perception
Ayanda’s holiday photos featured her and her two sons, Ngcweti and Mawenza, in matching festive outfits. However, many followers couldn’t help but notice the absence of Nothile, who is the daughter Sfiso had with singer Nonku Williams, from the celebrations.
There has been a well-documented tension between Ayanda and Nonku, much of which transpired during The Real Housewives of Durban. A particularly dramatic reunion episode highlighted Nonku and her mother’s confrontation with Ayanda over unresolved matters involving Sfiso, including allegations of his neglect towards Nothile.
Nonetheless, Ayanda has maintained that she fulfilled all her responsibilities as Sfiso’s wife and owes nothing to Nonku or her family. Nothile’s absence from this year’s Christmas celebration adds fuel to the ongoing concerns regarding the troubled relationships among Ayanda and Sfiso’s other children.
Critics have pointed out that while Ayanda often advocates for family unity, these continued exclusions tell a different story.
Revisiting Past Controversies
In the aftermath of Sfiso Ncwane’s passing, Ayanda’s life has been marked by both public admiration and critique:
Inheritance Disputes: Following Sfiso’s death in 2016, Ayanda faced allegations from his family about withholding his estate from his children, with Nothile being a key figure in those claims.
