Lebo Keswa and Letoya Makhene’s marriage ends amid abuse allegations

Lebo Keswa recently spoke about the end of her marriage to actress and singer Letoya Makhene, a relationship that was once celebrated in the South African entertainment industry as a symbol of love and acceptance. The split surprised many fans and sparked considerable curiosity.

In a series of posts and statements, Keswa shared a story marked by allegations of abuse, infidelity and personal struggles. She revealed that ending the marriage was a difficult but necessary decision for her mental health, livelihood and the well-being of her children. “I have concluded that it is time to move on and pack up my things to live the happiest and most fulfilling life possible.”, Keswa said in an emotional statement.

The marriage, which began with much fanfare and was seen as a beacon of love, is said to have deteriorated under the weight of personal problems. Keswa’s allegations include physical abuse, such as being scalded with boiling water and attacked with household items, in stark contrast to Makhene’s public image.

In response, Makhene made statements accusing Keswa of being abusive in their relationship. She reported that she endured physical abuse, including broken ribs, and emotional manipulation, leading to a he-said-she-said scenario that divided the fanbase.

The consequences were tragic, with Keswa citing financial burdens, including debts related to Makhene’s personal and spiritual pursuits, and infidelity as factors in the breakdown of the marriage. Makhene, on the other hand, highlighted her own experiences of abuse and betrayal, asserting that ending the marriage was vital to her safety and peace of mind.
