On Monday, the Durban High Court decided to put a hold on an arrest warrant for reality TV star Naliyani Govender. This gives Govender 10 court days to challenge the warrant and ask for it to be looked at again.
Govender filed an urgent application last Friday, seeking to have the arrest warrant, initially issued based on an application by her co-star Neetasha Singh, recalled and set aside. The judgment was delivered swiftly on Monday morning.
The case involves multiple respondents, including Singh, members of the South African Police Service, and the Chief Magistrate at the Durban Magistrate’s Court. In her affidavit, Govender argued that the warrant was issued without proper notice, as she had not been served with the interim harassment order that Singh had allegedly obtained against her.
“My liberty is at stake,” Govender stated, emphasizing that she had made every effort to resolve the situation amicably prior to the warrant’s issuance. She pointed out that despite her attempts to clarify the situation, the court issued the warrant based on an order that was never properly served.

The tension between the two reality stars escalated during the filming of the reunion special for their show, which is likened to popular series such as “The Real Housewives of Durban” and “The Kardashians.” Govender detailed an incident where Singh and her husband allegedly confronted her with derogatory remarks, which Govender claims contributed to her seeking legal protection.
Singh, on the other hand, has accused Govender of ongoing harassment, claiming that she has been subjected to intimidation that has affected her mental health. Singh described feelings of despair and anxiety, stating that Govender’s actions made her fear for her safety.
The legal battle unfolds, Govender’s attorney has signaled a commitment to contest the proceedings vigorously, while Singh’s claims highlight the personal toll that the ongoing feud is taking on both parties. With the court’s decision to stay the warrant, the next steps in this high-profile case will be closely monitored by fans and the public alike.
