South African sportscaster Mpho Maboi, says she decided to walk away from her marriage to former Kaizer Chiefs star Reneilwe “Yeye” Letsholonyane, after she realised that marriage was bringing more sorrow than happiness into both their lives.
The power couple divorced in 2021 for unspecified reasons.
Some have claimed that Maboi walked away from Yeye after the realisation that his life would be less glamorous after the end of his playing career.
In an interview on 702, the SuperSport presenter said she believed that she would still be with the former football star if they had never got married.
“We underwent a divorce and maintained silence about it. Speculation arose, assuming the involvement of a third party or financial issues. The most detrimental factor to my marriage was the institution itself.
“I strongly believe that had we refrained from marriage, we might still be together. Marriage alters everything—from how others perceive you to how your family sees you. It brings about profound changes,” she said.
Maboi said that the couple had tried to make things work several times, to no avail.
“I distinctly recall a deep sense of sadness, realising this wasn’t what I desired or envisioned. Happiness is paramount to me, and I often communicated to him, ‘I’m not happy. For me, I feel like it’s not the end point for everyone.
“Not everybody wants to get married. The whole marriage thing, can we not shove it down people’s throats.”
Maboi dispelled suggestions that she might have been with the former Kaizer Chiefs footballer for money.
“Black people don’t know love. For us, for love to make sense, especially if it’s with someone they assume you should not be with in the first place, they assume it can only because there’s money,” she said.
I guess she doesn’t know that love knows no race
The people with these kind of woman they want to play all roles ,A wife ,mother to the kids and mother to the Husband. So if black people doesn’t know what is love why are you not with Mr Britain.

Not black people don’t know love. Your husband don’t know love theys short circuit in he’s body parts. Needs jump start kkkkkkkkkkkk so don’t say what you say
When he had stopped playing football.
Ephraim Makosa you see.
The money and fame is gone
She must just say it straight. She divorced because she found a white rich boyfriend.Yeye is poor.😂
Gold digger
But the truth about is based on finance
We know the story of footballers better take your time to meet your future wife otherwise they usually regret
It’s because Yeye is broke now she is coming with stories. These slay queens its a problem
Mweya wechibhishu unenge wabata, siya zviende cuz togona kuzokuverengai pano pasoshar
Inyya ye ma equal rights
Did she just say black people? As if she’s white nxaaa, if we black people doesn’t know love nor how to love why did she marry the guy in the first place🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
Ruvarashe Kanonge She is a slay queen, the guy is broke now. Shame she doesn’t know her eyes are not blue lol
Zif MomboZif Mombo eish can you imagine the audacity she has.
Ruvarashe Kanonge She is a wannabe but unfortunately she can’t have blue eyes. God loved her and gave her that black skin but she hates self, well, poor her.
Every race has its own approach to a catastrophy never compare different men coz we are just different. Oh black is a color love knows no pigment. It’s your view towards an intiative that varies . Nagging, high demands , immorality, lack of respect drives any man away . Men point out red flags differently
Clive Simbarashe Chivaura well said, a lot of women are too nagging, some men can’t stand that!
The good thing is that she is also a black person…..
Money deals
She is just a bitter X , most white people get divorced more than 7 times until death on average compared to blacks who get divorced 3 times until death, if she is talking about love why do white people get divorced more regularly
The guy is broke
Stupid mentality, she is denouncing herself, her mother, her father
ςποψμεκε ζιναι she think she has blue eyes 🤣🤣🤣
Just tell us the footballer is now broke
Is she white?Stop blaming race for your marriage failures.How many blacks have been married for 60+ yrs.?How many whites have marriages that lasted 30dys?
Mad woman, you talk about race in love? Slay queen, the guy is broke now because of you, go away.
Wen money is finished u will hear a lot of stories
I support that,black ppl don’t value love.what we care is being from one patner to the other.we think there is s better partner out there than the one we have.
Reason Sibanda I didn’t know that about white ppl but I doupt.what i know is tht they dont rush into early marriages like black ppl.there is more commitment in white and Indians ppl.
Witness Kwasina not white people, only Indians are committed in marriages, white people don’t get into a relationship while in another but they don’t keep their marriages they get divorced more regularly
Witness Kwasinayou sound like you have a lot of experience with men. I wonder why you don’t marry those who showed you love initially?
Witness Kwasina I have lots of white people I know ,in less than ten years most of them are divorced more than 3 times but I still have my first wife 😂
Dumi Ndlovu they don’t know white people
Reason Sibanda 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dumi Ndlovu bringing emotions here doesn’t work.we can’t baby sit you here
Reason SibandaYaa my question is why marry a black person when you know they don’t know love. Most of these women who bad mouth black people are of questionable morales and get into marriages after they have been dumped by their 7th to 27th crushes.
