Minnie Dlamini reflects on Itu: We just couldn’t make it work

Johannesburg – TV presenter Minnie Dlamini has revealed how she was too scared to break up with Itu Khune because of what people would say.

Talking to Jacaranda FM on Tuesday morning, Minnie says her relationship with Itu fell apart near the end, but she felt like the pair chose to stick it out because of the pressure and embarrassment they would have felt if they had broke up.

“We just couldn’t make it work, instead of being in a relationship and if it’s not working just being like, ‘Eish. It’s not working’ Because there’s just a lot of pressure and everyone feels like they have an opinion, and the moment there’s a lot of attention and spotlight on the relationship, people feel like they have an input in the relationship," Minnie added.

Minnie says she now looks for relationships with people who are not famous or even in the industry.

“I think it’s the way to go and I’d even prefer it if it was someone who’s not in my industry. Sometimes you just want normalcy. You want to come home and take off your weave and not have to look cute all the time, and have someone love me for me,” she says.
