Why Sjava is not in a committed relationship
Meanwhile, in April 2024, Briefly News previously reported that the award-winning singer and actor was a guest on a YouTube podcast that discussed love and relationships. A popular news and gossip page shared a clip from that interview on X, and it raised a few eyebrows.
The Umbayimbayi musician admitted that he fears falling in love with a woman, saying love is dangerous. Sjava would end a relationship if he got too attached to a partner.
"For me, love is dangerous. I am scared of it. A lot of times I run away. If I can see that I am falling way too deep for this woman, I end things."
In his record-breaking album Umqhele, Sjava describes his love life in the song Confession. In it, he says, "I am scared of loving you the way you love me." In the interview, he referenced the song and said he was not joking when he wrote those lyrics.
