🚨Somizi Says GOODBYE to Mzansi! The SHOCKING Reason He’s Leaving South Africa Forever 😱✈️
It’s the kind of news that feels impossible to believe, but it’s true: Somizi Mhlongo has officially confirmed that he is saying farewell to South Africa—for good.
The entertainer, choreographer, reality TV star, and judge who has dazzled millions with his charisma and larger-than-life personality, stunned fans during a recent sit-down interview where he laid everything bare.
With a heavy heart and misty eyes, Somizi explained the real reasons behind his decision—and it’s far more than just a desire for a change of scenery.
“I’ve tried.
I’ve really tried,” Somizi began, before launching into a raw, emotional account of how his love for the country has slowly been chipped away.
“But it’s like no matter what I do, no matter how much I give, there’s always a target on my back.
” According to the star, the very country that made him famous has also become the source of his deepest pain.
From relentless online bullying to constant media scrutiny, Somizi says he’s tired of being treated like a public punching bag.
“I can’t breathe here anymore.
I walk out of my house and wonder what lie will be told about me next.
But it’s not just the media and internet trolls that have pushed him to this breaking point.
Somizi also hinted at betrayal from within his own industry—people he once trusted turning against him, stabbing him in the back for clout or career gain.
“I’ve been loyal to so many in this game, but when things got tough, they disappeared.
Some even fueled the fire against me.
While he didn’t name names, speculation is already flying across social media, with fans and insiders pointing fingers at fellow celebrities who have previously had public feuds or shady fallouts with him.
Could it be about his ex-husband Mohale? Could it involve toxic dynamics within the entertainment elite? Somizi didn’t confirm—but he didn’t deny either.
He simply said: “When you keep giving people your heart and they keep breaking it, eventually you stop bleeding.
You leave.
Another major factor in his decision is safety.
Somizi revealed that he no longer feels secure in South Africa, citing multiple disturbing incidents that made him question his wellbeing.
“There have been threats, invasions of privacy, people following me.
I don’t feel safe in my own home anymore,” he confessed.
He even claimed that some of the online vitriol has crossed over into the real world, with strangers confronting him in public places and hurling insults.
The final straw, according to Somizi, was a recent moment of clarity he had while visiting a close friend abroad.
“I was in Paris, walking down the street, completely anonymous.
No cameras, no whispers, no fake smiles.
I felt human again.
” That feeling of peace, he said, was something he hadn’t experienced in years.
“For the first time in a long time, I was just Somizi.
Not the scandal, not the headline.
Just me.
That’s when I knew: I can’t go back to living half a life.
He has already begun the process of relocating, though he hasn’t disclosed his exact destination.
However, sources close to the star claim he’s eyeing a permanent move to Europe—possibly France or the UK—where he plans to explore new creative ventures and “start fresh.
” Despite the pain of leaving behind his fans and cultural roots, Somizi says he’s not running away—he’s reclaiming his peace.
“South Africa will always be in my heart.
But I can’t die for it.
The response from fans has been explosive.
While many are devastated, others are expressing their full support, saying Somizi has endured more than most could survive.
“He deserves happiness.
He’s given us so much,” one Twitter user posted.
“Let the man breathe.
” The hashtag #GoodbyeSomizi is now trending, with thousands sharing their favorite moments, quotes, and photos of the star throughout the years.
Some are even pleading with him to reconsider, calling his departure a “loss for the nation.
Meanwhile, critics have accused Somizi of being overly dramatic or playing the victim—something he anticipated and addressed directly.
“I know they’ll say I’m seeking attention, or that I’m exaggerating.
But let them walk in my shoes for one week.
Just one week.
Somizi’s story is more than just celebrity gossip—it’s a harsh commentary on what fame can cost in a country where the line between adoration and attack is razor thin.
It’s about the mental toll of living in a spotlight that never turns off, and the heartbreaking decision to walk away from the place you once called home.
Whether or not you agree with him, one thing is clear: Somizi is done trying to survive in a system that keeps trying to break him.
As he prepares for his new chapter abroad, fans are left with a bittersweet truth—South Africa has lost not just a star, but a cultural force.
And while Somizi may be leaving physically, the conversation he’s sparked about fame, mental health, and toxic public scrutiny is only just beginning.
