OPINION: “In my voice, not an interview but a sharing of pain with others for healing and not a conversation,” those are the words of South African businesswoman, fashion designer and actress Enhle Mbali Mlotshwa on Thursday when Behind The Story with Pearl Thusi viewers were disappointed about the interview she gave on the show on Wednesday night.
Basically, the show is about getting personal accounts behind the story and viewers get to see Pearl Thusi sitting down with a gifted personality to have a heartfelt conversation, that will unveil the mask of celebrities we thought we knew. So far, it’s not about any thoughts but it has been unveiled that Enhle Mbali doesn’t talk about her private affairs at all.
Enhle Mbali also thanked Pearl Thusi, saying she saw what she did and her voice will be heard in time.
“Thank you so much to Pearl Thusi (tagging her), you’re appreciated. I see what you did… My voice will be heard in time,” says Enhle Mbali.
Now, as much as Enhle has a family and brand to protect, it was also imperative that she clears her throat on what has been alleged by the media when it comes to her marriage and the allegations that DJ Black Coffee has been cheating on her – as much as it was imperative for her to do so, she was not duty-bound to do so – also we need not forget the fact that she says her “voice will be heard in time,” which can only mean she’s not ready to talk about her private affairs in public.
Enhle Mbali and DJ Black Coffee have children, and the same children have friends, the same children are exposed to television, social media et also what does a decent mother do when she’s being pushed to air her private affairs in a public platform? She protects her children as much as she cannot control all the allegations, she can’t use the same media platforms to expose her exposed self again.
What a blue overall reader doesn’t understand is that children have the right to protection and privacy. When involving children in controversial stories, the media must practice caution and or have permission and consent of their parents or guardians.
Enhle Mbali created her own strategy to protect her children from such content as was expected by the viewers of Behind The Story.
As much as it is also reported that DJ Zinhle Jiyane didn’t have a clue that Enhle Mbali on her show will talk about cheating partners, it was solely lying with her to excuse herself from that topic – not with the host of the show.
