Somizi tells Bahumi she will one day throw away the bible. After hearing his daughter Bahumi Mhlongo state she doesn’t believe in ancestors, South African television star Somizi Mhlongo reacted.
She asserts in the eighth episode of Living The Dream with Somizi that she respects people’s religious convictions and will stand behind her father, but she doesn’t actually hold that viewpoint.

“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 necessarily something I believe in. 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.

In his reply, Som said that he respected her decision but that she would eventually change her mind.
“I’ll never decide what you do with your life because it’s your life and you need to be happy. When it comes to tradition and culture, I will not impose anything on you because I respect other people’s beliefs. You’re an adult. But one day, you will look back and say: ‘He was right’, and you will throw away the Bible,” he said.
