In the wake of her disqualification from Big Brother Mzansi, Eulanda ‘Yolanda’ Monyai finds herself amidst a whirlwind of emotions as she navigates the aftermath of the controversial incident. With a heavy heart and a determined spirit, Yolanda takes a moment to reflect on her journey, express her remorse, and set her sights on the future.
Recalling the events leading to her disqualification, Yolanda candidly admits to her lack of awareness regarding the gravity of her words. In a moment of impulsivity, she uttered remarks that she now understands were offensive and hurtful. As the repercussions of her actions unfold, Yolanda grapples with the realization of the impact her words may have had on others, particularly those who have experienced similar trauma.
“‘I didn’t really know what I was saying fully, so I wouldn’t say it was a fair punishment,’ Yolanda stated,” as she believes her disqualification was an exaggerated punishment because she was not fully aware that the word she used is associated with sexual harassment.
Amidst the scrutiny and criticism that inevitably follow such a public incident, Yolanda demonstrates remarkable resilience. Rather than succumbing to despair, she chooses to confront her mistake head-on, acknowledging her ignorance and committing to growth and learning. With humility and grace, she extends her apologies to anyone who may have been affected by her words, vowing to be more mindful and empathetic in the future.

“‘I don’t think I can fix the situation myself either than by moving on and working [on myself] because I can’t go and undo what I’ve done. You can’t fix that because someone else is living that reality,’ she stated,” explaining how she now understands the implications of her statement and how offensive and triggering it might have been to people who have encountered sexual harassment.

“‘I want them to know me on a personal level. So, I am going to give them me in detail,’ she says,” expressing her intention to write a book about herself.
In addition to her creative endeavors, Yolanda remains steadfast in her commitment to making a difference in the world. Through charitable work and community outreach, she aims to uplift and empower those in need, using her platform for good and spreading positivity wherever she goes.
