Somizi Mhlongo, a media personality, author, and choreographer, said he does not want to be “boxed” about his sexuality.
Mhlongo stated this during a recent interview with Dineo Ranaka and Sol Phenduka on Kaya 959’s Kaya Breakfast. The hosts of the breakfast show claimed to be “decoding” the veteran entertainer.
“I don’t want to be boxed,” he said in the interview. “The older you get, the more you find yourself, and you explore, and it’s okay.”
In the interview, Mhlongo also opened up about thinking he was pansexual when he expanded his response to Phenduka’s question about the last time he had sexual relations with a woman. According to Mhlongo, this happened “about five years ago.”
“At some point, I thought I’m gay, I’m bi[-sexual], and now, I think I’m pansexual,” he explained. Mhlongo added that being pansexual meant he was not attracted to a specific sexuality but rather the “vibes and chemistry” at the particular time.
The Idols SA judge also said that while he has never been straight, he “absolutely” enjoyed the process of making his daughter, Bahumi. “I’ve always been honest,” he added.
Mhlongo teased details of a new relationship in the final episode of the fifth season of his reality show, Living the Dream with Somizi earlier this month.
He shared with his friends that he had found love again, sayig the unnamed man, who was “extremely” into him, wanted to be private, has a career and holds a “high position,” has a house and a car.
