Below Deck Down Under: Everything To Know About Tumi Mhlongo
Tumi Mhlongo is the second stew in Below Deck Down Under season 1, and fans are curious to know more about her. Below Deck Down Under is becoming a fan-favorite Below Deck franchise after premiering in March on Peacock.

Eventually, Aesha and Captain Jason decided to let Magda go with a replacement on the way who hopefully will be more help for Tumi.
