Somizi Mhlongo has revealed he's not pursuing a monogamous relationship. Instead, he's embracing a more fluid and honest approach to love and relationships.

The media personality has been through his fair share of public relationships, with his last one with Mohale Motaung ending in a messy split marred by abuse allegations. However, it seems Somizi has emerged from that experience with a newfound perspective on relationships.  

“I haven't found love again. I am just mingling to mingle. I'm just having fun. There's no love. I am in relationships,” he told TshisaLIVE. 

“With age, you realise certain things, you discover yourself. I've realised I am possibly 80%-90% polygamous and I am pansexual. So I'm exploring. I am just living my life. I discovered that later in my life and I am enjoying it. I am not committed to anyone, I don't want anyone to commit to me.

“I've reached a stage in my life where I believe no-one should own anyone, no-one should control anyone. People must do what they want to do, as long as it's in agreement with the partnership.”

Asked if he would ever get married again, Somizi responded: “Marriage is on the cards, I'll definitely get married. I love the concept of marriage. To be honest, I'm more in love with the wedding than the marriage, but I understand the marriage part.”

He described the type of relationship he wants to have in future. 

“It would be an honest relationship, not an open one. Open to me means you can date whoever you want to date whenever you want. An honest relationship means we have a conversation before anything happens and we have to be in agreement.

“An honest relationship will be sometimes I wake not feeling the same way I felt yesterday about you and I must be open and honest with it.”
