Nonhle Thema Reveals That She Was Exaggerating About How Rich She Was Back In 2011!

Remember that time back in 2011 when Nonhle Thema was on the whole ‘I’m rich I don’t need South Africa tip’?

Well it seems like the Zabalaza actress has finally come to her senses about that little episode she had.

On Monday Nonhle was interviewed on CliffCentral by Gareth Cliff and in her interview the TV personality took a minute to reflect on the behaviour she had back in 2011. Nonhle also revealed that she over exaggerated the amount of money she was making back then.

Remember All This?…

“I actually find it ridiculous, I am actually very much amused by it because those figures are such an exaggeration. I feel like I must have really been at such a bad place and I’m so greatful that I’m out of that hell hole that I was in, that I had to put a facade for me to fight off people,” she said on the radio show.

Nonhle then went on to tell Gareth that she felt that she had to create a world where she felt safe and powerful at that time because she was a very insecure little girl.

“(That girl) felt attacked and felt sacrificed. Therefore she needed to build a little home for her to be protected and included that bit of exaggeration.”

Miss Thema also revealed that she was suicidal at some point because of the comments she received from people: “I had people encouraging my death, I would wake up. I just felt dead inside and for me I was already dead. I was just a dead person walking and I was just alive for the sake of it.”

Nonhle then thanked her mother for helping her through that difficult time: “But thank goodness that my mom is praying, is a praying woman.”

Well we’re really glad that Miss Thema is humble now and appreciates all the love she’s receiving from her Zabalaza fans.
