Inno Matijane leaves Moja Love's ‘The Way Ngingakhona'
The show follows the loves of members of the LGBTQIA+ community — how they navigate their daily struggles — and it highlights their triumphs too.
The media personality and DJ took to his timeline on Sunday, saying after candidly sharing his truth on the platform pertaining to an alleged sexual assault he suffered, he wanted to close the chapter.
'When I was back this season, I wasn't sure if it was the right thing to do. I had already started walking a more intentional path. But I accepted, because I wanted to share one last piece of my truth. And though I didn't say everything, I said enough.
'I have grown in ways I never imagined. Spiritually, emotionally and personally. And that growth has shown me that not every environment will always reflect who you are becoming. That is why I have chosen to step away from the show.
'This decision is not coming from any negativity or discomfort. In fact, my experience with the production team has always been warm and professional. They have treated me with kindness and respect, and I am truly going to miss working with them. I leave with gratitude, not regret.'
Inno went on to say he hopes he can make a reality TV comeback one day on a different show.
'This is not the end of my journey in reality television. I still believe in the power of real stories and real conversations. I still love the medium and everything it can be when it reflects truth and purpose. I also look forward to exploring other spaces, including scripted work [acting] and creative projects that allow me to keep growing.'
