Eli Mwenda, a content creator, announced an indefinite social media hiatus on Tuesday, telling his fans that he had recently undergone surgery to fix a laceration on his face caused by being attacked.
Eli, who co-hosts the Mantalk Ke podcast, said in an Instagram message that he was attacked on Sunday night while leaving an event and that the attack resulted in his face being "sliced open."
"I had to have surgery to prevent permanent scarring." It has hampered my work schedule, so I won't be able to film footage until my face fully heals," Mwenda explained.
Mwenda, in an unexpected turn, indicated that he knew the attacker but would not publicly identify him 'because he does not believe he should be defined by one wrong decision.'
"However, on a personal level, I completely forgive him." "I have continued to follow all official channels in order to prevent this from happening to anyone else," he stated.
In light of the attack and surgery, Mwenda, who has a decent online following, has announced that he will take a break from content creation to focus on his health and mental well-being.
"I'll be taking a brief break from social media to focus on my health and mental well-being." "I'm excited to get back to doing what I love: creating content for you."
