Hey, Naledi. I hope you are enjoying London; I know how cold it is around this time of year and it'd be a miracle if there was no snow. Anyways, it's nearly the new year this side in Joburg, and there's been something that's been weighing on my mind for some time, and thought it would be best to get out with it before everything is reset.

This genuinely was not an easy decision, but in the time, we've been away from each other I realized that perhaps it is for the better that we remain that way. There's been gang back-and-forth between me and you, and to be honest, it's tiring now. Going into 2022, I just want the best vibes for myself and want the best for you too – being together definitely is not it. I apologize for having to resort to doing this over Instagram, but there really was no other choice.

Please do not take this personally. You of all people should know that I have nothing but the best interests for you at heart. I'll always love you, and all the best for the year ahead queen.

Elijah.
