Bahumi under fire for not believing in ancestors

Social media users are trolling media personality Somizi Mhlongo’s daughter Bahumi over her lack of belief in ancestors after the latest episode of Living the Dream with Somizi aired on Showmax on Wednesday 22 June.

Somizi Mhlongo’s daughter Bahumi wants to change her surname to Mhlongo from her mom’s surname Madiskwane. However, she does not do it customarily which she expressed on the latest episode of Living the Dream With Somizi on Wednesday 22 June.

She also stated that she does not believe in engaging with her ancestors.
“I don’t believe in engaging with my ancestors. I’ve always respected it and whenever there’s a ceremony, I’m there to help. I do it because I honour you and respect your culture. It’s not something I necessarily believe in,” she said.

“We believe in different things and in this sense it’s about me, I want to do things my way. I know you and my mother want me to do things customarily, but I don’t want to,” she said on the show,” she continued.

This comes after Palesa told Bahumi that she needed to follow tradition in order to change her surname.
Twitter users trolled Bahumi for not believing in the “underground gang.” Take a look…

I used to be like Bahumi. I also used to say that about ancestors. Somizi is right, when the time is right she will know. My father started visiting me in my dreams, my grandmother, my grandfather. They communicate with love. She will know some day #Bahumi

Drama as Bahumi gets upset for Somizi flying her in FlySafair & not business class

Mzansi media personality Somizi Mhlongo revealed that his daughter Bahumi was “upset” that she had to fly with FlySafair and not business class on their trip to Cape Town – on the latest episode of his reality show Living the Dream with Somizi which aired on Showmax on Wednesday 25 May.

On the latest episode of Living the Dream with Somizi, his daughter Bahumi asks him to help her with her bags and he declines.

“No you are crazy. Do you think we’re concierge,” he said.

Bahumi then tells Somizi he is “cramping her style”. She explained that she had a “bad” flight but Somizi thinks she is upset that she had to fly with FlySafair and not business class.

“I think she was upset she flew FlySafair. So Bahumi wants business class and I had to buy so many tickets. There were ten of them… she wants me to take her bag, I’m not here for you,” he continued.

Take a look…

Bahumi just wanted first class ?????#LTDWSOMIZI pic.twitter.com/jLJs1KSr3W

Somizi tol Bahumi not to be apologetic about who her parents are. Somizi is an actor, who starred in Sarafina! among other films. He is also popular for his previous radio and television gigs and a judge on Idols SA.

Bahumi’s mom is actress Palesa Madisakwane. She starred on Generations: The Legacy along with other soapies and telenovelas. Bahumi’s grandmother, who is Somizi’s mom, was veteran actress Mary Twala.

So, Somizi asked Bahumi what her plans are for the year and she told him that she has applied to production houses but had no response as yet. He told her not to be apologetic about who her parents are, because he worked so hard to get to where he is.

“So what are your plans for next year?” asks Somizi.

“A podcast. I’ve applied to two places but I haven’t got a response as yet… two production houses. Honestly speaking I’m still figuring it out. I just got out of school and I’m spending my schooling year really just deciding what space in the industry I really want to get into,”

“She must not be apologetic about who her parents are, she must use that actually. I didn’t work my a** off for her to work her a** off,”

It turns out, Tweeps agree! Take a look…

Somizi is right Bahumi must use who her parents are. ? I wouldn’t also work hard in life just so my kids can go through the same thing, please she must Use this opportunity! #LTDWSOMIZI pic.twitter.com/cERvUpUcH6

Somizi said he worked so hard so that Bahumi didn’t have to so if she must she must use his name to get ahead.

I think all parents sort of want to build that foundation for their children. Create the type of wealth that can also sustain generations after them #LTDWSOMIZI
