“As a mother, I’m here for what’s right for Sakha. Which is quality time with his family. I’ve never been a mean person, showing my respect and kindness to his family including him after it ‘ALL.’ Don’t mistake it with ‘ngisa’ cha [still in love].”

Addressing the “Zuma” Surname
Earlier in the year, LaConco appeared on Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip, a crossover series featuring cast members from various South African Real Housewives franchises. During the first episode, an interaction with Real Housewives van Pretoria star Melany “Mel” Viljoen brought up LaConco’s ties to Zuma.
Mel referred to LaConco as “Mrs. Zuma,” which did not sit well with her. LaConco later addressed this in a confessional, explaining her dissatisfaction with how Mel casually used the Zuma surname.
“She was supposed to respect that surname. She was once governed by it. Yes. She’s supposed to respect that surname; she can’t just mention it haphazardly,” LaConco stated.
This moment highlighted LaConco’s perspective on the importance of treating the Zuma surname with respect, despite her own distance from the former president.
