'Bedroom video' DJ speaks

RADIO and television personality Tinopona Katsande has said she is facing the most difficult time of her life following the leaking of her bedroom video with an ex-boyfriend.

Tintin, as she is known in social circles, sent an audio message to friends and relatives Thursday morning expressing her gratitude for their support.

"You have been so supportive and unwavering in what is probably the most difficult time that I have ever had in my 34 years," she said in the audio recording.

"I have no words that can express the amount of gratitude that I have and love that I am feeling for you right now."

The message starts in a jovial mood, then gets emotional towards the end.

"Hi! Good morning! Gotta get up and do something! Listen, I just want to say no words can express (my gratitude) - no words possible. I have looked in the dictionary; I have looked into my heart," she starts off.

She goes on to say she hopes it is the last time that she feels this way and thanks God for the people around her.

"I hope it's the last time, man! But I really wanted to say with my own voice that I am so grateful and I thank God that He has put people like you in my life and that you continue to uplift me, even where I go wrong.

"You so cleverly make sure that I come back into the right path and it came pretty clear to me last night actually," she said.

"I was going through a phase when I couldn't talk to God . . . I just felt . . . it was a bit heavy . . ."

At the end, she thanks her audience again and promises she will do the best in anything that she does and again tells the listener to get up and do something.

"Thank you so much for being there. May God bless you and I will continue to do the best that I can in anything that I do. I love you and I thank you so much.

Have a fantastic day.

"Come on, get up and do something!"
