During the interview on DJ Fresh’s podcast, Minnie Dlamini spoke about her role as Lu in the film “The Honeymoon” and how it brought back emotions she had experienced during her marriage. She shared that when she portrayed Lu, her marriage was already over, which allowed her to deeply relate to the character.
“A lot of the emotions Lu was going through in the film, I could relate to. Some [of the emotions] did make me feel some kind of way. I kind of feel like Lu was a bit of therapy for me because she went through a really cool journey of finding herself in this film and that’s kind of where I am now,” Minnie Dlamini said.

Minnie Dlamini on Single Parenting
Minnie Dlamini also shared her insights into single parenthood since her divorce. Like many single mothers, she acknowledged that being a single parent is both challenging and rewarding.
“It’s even more difficult doing it alone, And I think for me, it’s just shout out to single parents everywhere. I don’t think I’ve ever been more insecure or questioned myself more than I do right now. But I also feel like God gave him to me for a reason. Sometimes I just got to trust my gut and raise him in a way that I was raised because I think my parents did pretty good,” Minnie Dlamini expressed.
Despite the challenges, Minnie Dlamini remains dedicated to being the best parent she can be and draws strength from her faith and upbringing.
