SULTRY actress Liteboho Molise has found herself entangled in a bitter polygamous feud, and she doesn’t even know it. The actress, who merrily announced Mpumalanga businessma­n Thabo Twala in the media as the man who put a smile on her face, this week appeared to be in the dark about her husband’s polygamous dispositio­n. We are made to believe that Twala’s first wife, Kate, recently asked Liteboho to leave her husband alone after the thespian paraded the tender tycoon to the media. But Liteboho, whom Twala wedded and blessed with a Merc and a crib in one of the ritzy suburbs of Jozi, believes she is the only wife. When I met him, Kate was history. She was no longer with him ... even now they are no longer together. In fact, Thabo had just broken up with some woman called Mpho when I met him. He paid lobola for me and we live together with our child,” she said. Liteboho who plays Teboho, wife of mayor Mulalo Mukwevho in the soapie said Twala and Kate’s last-born child had just turned three when she started dating him. I don’t know why people say I’m a home wrecker, but I guess in situations like these it is always the woman’s fault.”

Kate insisted she doesn’t recognise Liteboho’s marriage to Twala.

I have nothing much to say except that in as far as I’m concerned, I’m my husband’s only wife,” Kate said.

Twala, however, said Kate, Mpho and Liteboho were all his wives. I’m a traditiona­l man. I’m a polygamist. Kate is my first wife, Mpho is my second wife and Liteboho is my third wife. I love all of them and I take good care of them.

There is nothing wrong with having more than one wife, as long as I can afford them. I can afford to have three wives, that s why I bought them cars and houses.

All of them are my wives and I have kids with them,” he said.

Mpho confirmed that she is Twala s second wife.

I’m his second wife and for your informatio­n Kate and I are very close. Liteboho is lying when she says this man left both of us for her,” she said.
