Moja Love has responded to a wave of social media criticism following a recent episode of its reality show, Isencane Lengane which chronicles the lives of the young married couple Siyacela Dlamuka and Thando Msomi, who wed as teenagers.
The seventh season episode ignited a firestorm of debate, with numerous viewers expressing deep concern over what they perceived as toxic dynamics within the relationship.
In a statement released by the channel, Moja Love asserted that Isencane Lengane is intentionally crafted to foster dialogue around Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and other societal issues, with the objective of increasing awareness and encouraging positive societal shifts.
“It is important to note that the show is a reality show which reflects, explores and raises awareness and contributes to the discourse on gender-based violence (GBV) and societal ills,”
Whilst the episode aired on Sunday, 20 April 2025 is upsetting to the some viewers, which the channel takes note of and does not take lightly, it does not incite and/or promote GBV. The opposite, however, is true in that the impugned episode explores misogyny and deep-rooted views of one of the main cast relating to polygamy albeit ill-advised.
The channel has and continues to offer psychological support to Thando, affected members and has done so in the past and will continue to do so,” the statement reads.
