Peet and Melany Viljoen with DA leader, Helen Zille at Showmax's 'The Roast of Helen Zille'.

“The Real Housewives of Pretoria” stars Melany "Mel" and Peet Viljoen have been offered a way back home.

According to News24, Mel has been granted “voluntary departure” by a United States immigration judge, and she claims that her hubby Peet could soon be getting the same deal.

The couple was arrested for shoplifting on 10 March in Florida. They managed to get bail in mid-March for $10 000 after their arrest; they were taken by ICE.

But things are not all smooth sailing, with US immigration authorities having the option of appealing.
