Reality TV personality Inno Matijane had Mzansi talking after he responded to an older photo of himself making the rounds on X. The image, which shows him dressed in high-fashion boots, shorts, and a fur accent, was shared by a user who tagged him directly with the comment "Girl this is you btw." Inno, known for his appearance on The Way Ngingakhona, reshared the photo without hesitation, writing:
"I was mentally ill cause what the hell? I've forgiven myself. 😭"
Inno's public transformation
The moment arrived against the backdrop of a very public personal shift. Inno recently announced that he had become a born-again Christian, detransitioned, and chosen to step away from his life as a transgender woman and queer public figure. Following that announcement, he cleared the majority of his old photos from his social media profiles, though older images have continued to resurface online.

@therealLutendoo challenged him on the noise surrounding his transition:
"I totally get you but the crusade you are on trying to demonise the lifestyle is the one triggering some people. Maybe if you have just changed your lifestyle and moved on with your life without so much noise."
Inno hit back:
"I don't care how they feel, I've never demonized anyone!"
@GeshLungi pressed him to admit he simply enjoyed it at the time, and Inno replied:
"Nah, I'm not ashamed of it, just feels foreign to me now."
@Shakes_Zuma was unconvinced, writing:
"BS we don't buy it."
Inno quipped:
"My day is ruined, Ntando doesn't buy it."
@asiel_asiels joked that he would one day need to explain the photos to children, and Inno fired back:
"I went to a gender exchange party ko kasi. 😭"
@tlokzam asked how he achieved that body shape. Inno replied:
"Just genes, when I gain weight I gain like that, now I only eat ice to avoid that. 🧊😭"
