An old video of renowned broadcaster Penny Lebyane discussing the people she dated before marrying her ex-husband, DJ Fresh, has surfaced. Penny Lebyane discussed her personal life with MacG, whom she recently slammed over his comments about Minnie Dlamini.

Penny Lebyane reflects on how she met DJ Fresh

In the Podcast and Chill episode that originally aired on 23 January 2020, Penny Lebyane opened up about how she met her ex-husband, DJ Fresh. In a clip of the interview shared by social media user @ThisIsColbert, Penny discussed how she navigated dating in the entertainment industry.

“At a club. It wasn’t Recharge. Remember, I was on Studio Mix. He was a host, and all the club DJs used to call me to put on their gigs on TV, so that’s how it kinda started. The industry boys were not really asking me out. He was probably the only one who was asking me out at the time, so I just thought, ‘Oh, okay’,” she recounted.

Penny said she felt that the industry boys had taken a bet on who would date her.

“I got this thing that those boys took a bet on me. Like they took a bet on some, ‘Who’s gonna hit it? Who’s gonna get it?’ The one got in was like, ‘I’m in. What must I do now?’ The end. That’s my theory,” she said while roaring in laughter.

She also revealed her ideal man should be intellectually stimulating.

“My type is the attentive guy who talks to me. Who pays attention. Who can stimulate my brain, not just other things. Who can get into a great conversation with me, because I have a lot to say. I converse across [the] board. I wanna talk about soccer. I wanna talk about politics. I wanna talk about religion,” she said.

She revealed that she went on blind dates with Bafana Bafana legends Lucas Radebe and Doctor Khumalo.

“When I was younger, for example, people used to try and get me on dates with soccer players. It was just bad. I used to call Doctor Khumalo Joe, and it just didn’t work out. I would just friendzone the guys,” she said.
