Catherine Masitsa, a TV host and reality star, has sparked a debate after saying that having a TV in the living room reflects a poverty mindset. 


In a recent interview on KTN’s Art of Living with Nailantei Kenga, she expressed that living rooms should focus on conversation rather than television.


"“Having a TV in the sitting room is a poverty mindset. If you are from my world, which means you went to school at the time when I went, TVs are for poor mindsets. Let me just say that TVs in your living room? Truly is for a very poor mindset.


Why? Because as a family, if you’re seated in your living room, then you re supposed to be having elevated con-versations. Nobody is coming to your house to watch TV. Just to stay in your home and watch TV? A lot of homes, like this one, have TV rooms, but you still find them with TVs in the living room.”

Masitsa’s grand home, located in one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in the city, features large, panoramic windows with unobstructed views of the sprawling lush landscape.

 Her home also does not have curtains, and she says she does not need any because she does not have neighbours in proximity.
