The marriage of former “Generations” actress and singer, Letoya Makhene, and her wife Lebo Keswa is on the rocks following claims of infidelity and abuse.
The couple who married on December 22, 2020, in a lavish wedding, are calling it quits after Keswa, through a statement, revealed that their “marriage had ended in a toxic relationship”.
The official statement read: “After much thought and consideration, Lebo Keswa has made a difficult decision to separate indefinitely from her ex-wife, Letoya Makhene and her separation goes beyond irreconcilable differences.”
It continued to share that for the sake of both their mental health, livelihood and the well-being of their children, Keswa had decided to dissolve the marriage.
“She made this decision graciously and with gratitude for the time they had spent together.”
The statement confirmed that both parties’ families had been notified and agreed to support the divorce.
Keswa added: “I’ve concluded it’s time to move on and pick up the pieces of what’s left to try to live the most joyful and satisfied life imaginable.”
According to online reports their marriage was allegedly marked by abuse, drugs and infidelity. The reports allege that Makhene burnt Keswa with boiling water, beat her with an ironing board and threw a vase at her in their marital home in Randfontein.
Other reports claim that Makhene destroyed both the homes that the couple lived in by breaking the windows and furniture, and burning the curtains.
