In an explosive interview with TshisaLIVE, Lebo Keswa is setting the record straight after her ex-wife, actress Letoya Makhene, allegedly tarnished her reputation following their split. The couple, once the picture of a happy union, is now at the center of a bitter dispute, with Keswa vehemently defending herself against allegations of financial misconduct.
Keswa reveals that the couple had a joint account, emphasising that she has never misused their funds. “I am not a thief, I work hard for my money,” Keswa declared. “I’ve lost a lot through Letoya’s antics. Her family and her baby daddies were living off my hard work. I never thought Letoya would stoop that low to end up feeding some media outlets with her lies.”
The fallout from these accusations has been severe for Keswa, who claims that the negative publicity has cost her significant professional opportunities. “I’ve lost out on great jobs due to bad reporting about my marriage,” she lamented. Despite her usual preference for privacy, the situation has forced her to break her silence. “I don’t like to vent about my private life in the media but now this messy situation has led me to speak out.”
Keswa’s frustrations have even led to financial hardships. “I just want to deal with this situation and move on with my life. In fact, I’m in debt because of Letoya,” she admitted, highlighting the personal toll the drama has taken on her.
The controversy reached a fever pitch on Sunday when Keswa took to Instagram to share her side of the story, leaving Mzansi reeling from the revelations. Despite the public outcry, efforts to reach Letoya for comment have been unsuccessful.
As the dust settles, it remains to be seen how this public feud will unfold. For now, Keswa’s message is clear: she wants to put this chapter behind her and rebuild her life.
