“She won’t get it, shame. We’ll have to slaughter an animal. She has to speak to the ancestors if she wants the surname. She won’t get it by just signing some documents. We didn’t get the surname from Home Affairs, we got it from our ancestors."

Bahumi has expressed her disappointment in the latest episode of Living the Dream With Somizi with her parents' failure to accept her beliefs in response to the revelation that they do not support her decision.

“I think that’s the part that just kind of ticking me off, you know? I’ve been very supportive of my family and their beliefs, I’ve been there…. I’ve done everything,” said Bahumi.

Fans of the reality show have reacted to the latest claims Bahumi made.
