South African singer and actress Letoya Makhene is reportedly facing a new crisis following reports that she was evicted from her Johannesburg home due to unpaid rent.

According to sources, the former Generations actress's landlord took the bold step to kick her and her newborn baby out after she had fallen behind on rent for more than two months, leaving her locked out, with her electricity also cut off.

Makhene, who is famous for her role as Gaddafi's wife Tshidi Mogale in the soapie, is said to be facing financial hardship that has reached a critical stage.

Reports further suggest that she didn't go down without a fight, taking the matter to court to contest her landlord's decision to evict her.

Letoya's private life has become public knowledge largely through her ex-wife, Lebo Keswa, who frequently uses social media and podcasts to expose the often messy details of their failed marriage.

Recently, she commented on the viral video showing a heated altercation between Letoya and her family members, to which Keswa exclaimed that she "lived with this drama."

In the comment section, she made several explosive and unverified claims about her ex's pregnancy, as well as the identity of the child’s father and his personal struggles.

The brewing drama comes ahead of the premiere of her reality show, The Makhenes, on 12 April, leading social media to question whether it's a twisted marketing ploy to boost viewership.

While the truth behind the rental dispute remains unclear, Makhene has refrained from making a public statement, leaving many to wonder if she will eventually share her side of the story.
