Thando Mokoena Opens Up — “Experimentation Helped Me Figure Myself Out”

Earlier this year, Thando raised eyebrows by posting content with LGBTQ+ hashtags. Social media detectives did what they do best — speculate. But now? Sis came with full clarity.

In the interview, she encouraged young people who are curious to explore and learn about themselves without fear of societal pressure:

“Everyone who’s within their right and is curious should experience experimentation with the same sex or same gender. It’s a way of discovering yourself.”

She didn’t tiptoe around her truth either.
Thando confirmed she had experimented with women before, and that experience helped her realise she is pansexual — someone attracted to people regardless of gender.

“I have indeed, and I now know that I am a pansexual woman. That big bad experimentation helped me figure out more about myself.”

She also explained that she first noticed these feelings around the age of 12, but only fully understood them when she got older.

“I didn’t experiment at this age… but I became curious at around 12. Later it confirmed things for me.”

The comments section? A whole Olympics of mixed emotions.

Some applauded her honesty:

• zar_afrika: “You don’t need to experiment to know yourself. You just know.”
• adira_thequeen: “If you want to discover yourself… look to God. ❤️”

Others raised eyebrows — especially at the age she first felt curious:

• banele_justhim: “At the age of what now? 12?”
• sharon_nel: “Too much freedom for kids is not good.”

And then there were the comedians:

• Phillipdikotla: “Let’s fix unemployment, guys. Let’s experiment with job opportunities maybe?” 😭

Some also took aim at the podcast host — especially over her accent, which previously earned her praise but now suddenly became a punching bag because… internet logic.

Thando’s honesty has set the timeline ablaze, sparked conversations on sexuality, identity, freedom, and parenting — and reminded everyone that the children of celebrities have truths of their own outside their parents’ fame.

Is Thando simply owning her truth confidently — or is the conversation around “experimentation” what shook the timeline the most? Drop your thoughts below.
