Tsele also declared her love for Ratile's husband in the pictures she posted of them on social media.

She said:

"The odds were so against me. Love you forever. I know you know I'd do anything for you. Rest in eternal peace. I love you."

The online user who posted the leaked pictures also alleged that Neo had edited the photos of Lehlogonolo Mabitsela on Faceapp to make him look lighter. Many people thought the photos were of different men, but others alleged that between his weight loss and the alleged editing, Lehlogonolo looked different in the pictures.

Briefly News spoke to relationship expert Kelley Nele, who shared how someone can cope with such a situation in a healthy way. She said:

"Grief alone can be difficult to process. When a person has to deal with grief as well as infidelity and internet and everything it comes with, it can make healing even more difficult.

"When are you gonna start blaming this man for disrespecting his marriage? This lady didn't ask herself out this married' man did. And probably the wife knew this but black women are forever desperate for marriage and overlooked all the red flags."
