Thinah Zungu explains why he’s done with reality TV

He said this was the first time he wasn’t booked and busy during the Easter weekend. Zungu said he was so heartbroken that he didn’t watch the last episode of Thinah singoZungu. The multi-award-winner shared that the experience taught him valuable life lessons.

"One thing that I learned, or I think God wanted me to learn, was to depend on him. As many people distanced themselves from me, that is where I got a chance to depend on God because I knew that he is the only one who knows me and who knows what I meant," he said.

Thinah Zungu shared why he had decided to allow cameras to record his life. He explained that he wanted to minister through the reality TV show by showing what he achieved through God's grace.

As Mzansi eagerly awaits a second season, Thinah has made it clear that he will not be featuring in another reality TV show soon.
