Actress Liteboho Modise, best known for her roles in Muvhango and Lingashoni, is speaking candidly about the personal challenges she’s faced and the lessons she’s learned along the way.
In a recent interview on Pasi Koetle’s podcast, the 37-year-old actress shared heartfelt insights about navigating divorce, single motherhood, and the importance of maintaining one’s identity in relationships.
Born in Lesotho Liteboho Modise and now based in South Africa, Liteboho has become a familiar face on local television. But behind the scenes, she’s been through her own trials—especially after walking away from her marriage when her daughter was just a year old.
“Don’t ever forget who you were before the marriage,” she said.
“You can love your partner, of course, but don’t lose yourself in the process. Knowing who you are gives you strength, especially during turbulent times—it helps you recognise whether the marriage is truly working or not.”
Liteboho Modise Reflects on Her Divorce
Reflecting on her divorce, Liteboho Modise admitted it was a painful and overwhelming chapter.
“It was hard because I had no time to sit and breathe,” she said. “I had to survive—for myself and for my daughter.”
She described how her focus shifted entirely to ensuring her child’s well-being.
“My daughter needed me completely at the time, so I didn’t get a chance to cry or process my emotions. I had to create emotional and financial stability. That became my only priority.”
Interestingly, she shared that becoming a single mother wasn’t a drastic transition, as her ex-husband had already been largely absent.
“He would only see us occasionally. The biggest change was moving from a big house to an apartment. But emotionally, the weight was lifted,” she explained.
“I could finally concentrate on my career and raise my daughter without questioning why my husband wasn’t coming home or why he didn’t care. I knew he wasn’t there—and I made peace with that.”
Liteboho Modise’s story is a powerful reminder of the resilience of women and the importance of self-worth—both inside and outside of relationships.
