Netizens react to Thando's alleged response

Shortly after the screenshot went viral on social media, many netizens flooded the comment section with their reactions to Thando's response. Here's what they had to say:

@Khanyoe_theDJ said:

"I'm sure Siyacela typed that."

@itsreneilwemol commented:

"She’s not serious lmaoooooo."

@lethinjabulo_ responded:

"You know what? I thought the same thing. Those people don’t work; which might be the reason why Thando is still there is for the money she gets."

@Deee___ replied:

"If this is really her and how she feels, aren't there women who can help her bathong? She doesn't have to stay in an abusive situation because of money. She needs to be taken out of there and shown that she can do this life thing as a woman, just like other women."

@TheFruityO wrote:

"Do people realise that removing them from TV won't change their situation? If anything, Siyacela will become worse because now no one is watching."

@BrendaChaukeS mentioned:

"Maybe MojaLove should establish if she wants out, get counselling for her and then do a show called uThando no Lubanzi focusing on how she can change her life for the better. That’s IF she wants out."

Moja Love releases statement to address backlash

Controversial channel, Moja Love has broken its silence following calls to cancel its popular show, Isencane Lengane. Fans of the show revealed this week that they are concerned for Thando Msomi's safety and want her to divorce her husband, Siyacela.

The popular show follows a young couple, Siyacela and Thando Dlamuka‘s troubled relationship. The channel released a statement on social media on Wednesday, 23 April. The statement confirms that the channel is aware of the backlash

"Moja Love has been inundated with media inquiries, including various views expressed on social media relating to an episode of 'Isencane Lengane', currently on Season 7, which was broadcast on Sunday, 20 April."

The channel added that such events reflected the reality of what happens in South Africa, adding that the show is a reality show that explores and raises awareness, contributing to the discourse on gender-based violence and societal ills.

Moja Love accused of theft

In January 2025, Thabiso Makhetha, a former employee of Moja Love, accused the channel of stealing his idea for their show Uthi'uyikleva Bootcamp Makhetha.

Makhetha shared several posts on X (Twitter) and accusing the channel of intellectual property theft.

Moja Love retaliated to the claims, and they have since served Thabiso a cease-and-desist letter. Thabiso shared with Briefly News that he has also sought legal intervention and is continuing to fight for what he feels is right.
