DJ Zinhle who recently released an official statement about her breakup with AKA, has chosen to keep details about her split as private as possible.
Zinhle was on Gareth Cliff’s show on CliffCentral on Tuesday morning, and when asked to share her side of the story, she said: “I don’t have a side of the story. I mean I’m sure you saw my statement, and in my statement I said I am not discussing this thing any further.”
She explained to Gareth that she only went public about her relationship with AKA because they were going to have a baby. “And if I’m a Zulu girl that’s not married and pregnant, and I’m saying I can’t even tell you who the father is, then it looks a bit dodgy. That forced us to go public. Otherwise, before that we were not trying to be public about our relationship… I’m trying to maintain the same thing even with the break-up. I’m not trying to say ‘oh no, he didn’t buy groceries today so I dumped him’ no, I’m not trying to.”
About a week ago, AKA paid damages for their daughter, Kairo, who is now two months old.
Zinhle commended AKA for observing customs. “Kiernan did his part and he’s not Zulu. He did a great job with observing their customs for his child.” She said she’s very proud of him and described him as her best friend.
Zinhle told Gareth that her family loves AKA. “He’s family, we’re all family. Kairo has made us all family.”
It’s been little under a week since the couple announced their separation and she says it’s too soon to think of moving on.
“I guess I’ll see what the universe has to throw at me and hope it throws good things,” she laughs. “I’m just not mentally ready. When I know what kind of guy I want, I haven’t defined the kind of person I want next. Until then, I can’t say I’m ready to see someone else,” Zinhle adds.
According to report, Zinhle was allegedly involved in a verbal brawl with a teller at a supermarket on the same day she publicly dumped AKA. Jiyane alleged snapped at a cashier and shouting that the cashier was incompetent because she had to wait longer in the line.
