In an interview with Huisgenoot, the controversial housewife said:

“I feel, in retrospect, I did not fully realise what I let myself in for.”

“My respect for public figures who are in the spotlight all day, every day, has increased tremendously. I realise now why some people in the entertainment industry do not read reviews,” she said.

Her comment about the importance of money really ruffled viewers’ feathers.

“We all serve Mammon. We are crazy about him, the money god. If I didn’t have money… I will jump off a building. It’s actually unimaginable,” she said.

SHE DOES HAVE REGRETS…

But. looking back, she regrets saying that.

“Damn, that is one comment I am sorry about. I would have loved to wipe it out; I really don’t want to be remembered for that. But it was said and broadcasted.”

“A few rands in the bank lets me feel safe, but I am also at that age where you realise your health is everything; without good health, you have nothing,” she added.

And yes, the negative comments from viewers sting, but instead of taking it personally, she learns from it.

And then there is the role or character development. “As filming continues, you begin to develop and adopt a certain persona in the group. It doesn’t help everyone is quiet; someone has to keep the discussions and chats going,” she told the publication.

At home, Anita is reportedly a completely different person who likes to read. But she will always say what needs to be said.

For now, while the show is still being aired, her friends and family give her “perspective, insight, and encouragement.” They know her, after all.
