Calven Robinson, who is married to Jojo, receives the most screen time on the Showmax Original reality series of all the Real Housewives of Durban (RHOD) husbands.
In season three alone, he appeared in the second episode before an argument between his feisty wife and newcomer Slindile “Slee” Ndlovu erupted. Jojo was upset because Slee was allegedly too friendly with her husband, implying she was flitting with him when they met for the first time at Nonku’s house.
Calven has also appeared in his own diary sessions and at events where his wife is present.

In the eighth episode, he drove for several hours to pick up his upset wife after she yelled at the other wives while on vacation at Sani Pass Resort in the Drakensberg Mountains in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN).
The incident came after Jojo expressed that she was hurt that the group perceived her as a “drunkard” — claims the other ladies refuted. Her utburst saw her swinging a class of water in her best friend Nonku’s direction as the water splashed her face and wrnt into her eyes. In hysterics, Jojo walked out on the ladies and said that she wanted to stay far away from everyone.
The following day, her husband arrived to support her and remove her from the situation.
So, who is Calven Robinson?
1. HE IS ‘THE BUTCHER’
Jojo’s hubby is a former kickboxing champion and martial artist known by the nickname, The Butcher.
2. HE IS VERY WEALTHY
According to Briefly, the entrepreneur has an estimated net worth of R995 million.
His wife often gloats about his wealth on RHOD and on social media; telling her fans that she “married rich”.
In season two of the reality series, she emphasised that she is the only cast member on the much-loved show who is a housewife in the most accurate form of the word. This is because she does not own a business like the other ladies. She, instead, spends her time spending her husband’s money and being a mom to their six-year-old son Rocco.

“When everyone out here [is] upset that I’m a housewife and use my rich husband’s money. And I’m just out here trying to decide which of my cars to take out shopping,” Jojo boasted on TikTok last year.
