‘SKEEM SAAM’ ACTRESS INNO SADIKI’S HOUSE BURNS DOWN IN FIRE
In a video shared on her X account, Inno and her husband, Pastor Phindulo Sadiki, can be seen walking toward their house as the actress cries.
“From what we called our Home, we now have NOTHING! Our House burnt down today. Lord you are still our God. We are shuttered. We thank God none of us are injured. Pray for us Please,” she wrote.
Inno’s twin sister, Millicent “Milly” Mashile also shared a photograph of the destroyed house.
“1 July 2024. I’m so sorry about your house sisi,” Milly wrote.
THE ACTRESS THANKS FELLOW ACTOR TUMISHO MASHA
In another post, Inno thanks fellow actor Tumisho Masha for buying pajamas and other necessities for her family in their time of need.
“Thank you Tumisho Masha. My kids went to bed with pyjamas tonight. You rushed to the shops to get necessities for my kids and hubby. They went to bed like everything is normal even when the situation is so terrible. I appreciate you my brother,” Inno wrote.
The cause of the fire is still unknown.
LOSING THEIR PARENTS AT A YOUNG AGE
Inno and Milly have previously opened up about their upbringing and trauma of losing both their parents at a young age.
In an episode of their YouTube podcast, Cent Twinz TV, the media personalities opened up about losing their mother at the age of four and their father when they were teens.
The twins shared that they were not certain about the cause of their 26-year-old mother’s death as they had been told she got electrocuted.
“It caused a lot of trauma for me. The first couple of years as a child, I don’t remember them at all. The only memories I have are of me in my 20s. Now that we are older, we have so many questions that are unanswered,” Milly said.
“I remember having so much fear at 25. I was like, I’m going to die at 26. In my head, that’s when life ends. The same thing with my children, when my children turned four. I was like, they are not going to have a mother.”
Inno added that she struggled to recall her past as a result of the emotional trauma her parents’ deaths caused.
“It’s the memory loss for me as well. I didn’t realise that until I was married, until I had children. I know my mom from a picture; I don’t know her as a person. I have zero memories of my mom.”
