A clip from the interview, shared on X (Twitter) by @MeshackBevhulas, captured Maboi discussing the misconceptions surrounding her life and dating history. She dismissed the idea that she entered her marriage with nothing, explaining that she comes from a well-off family and had already built a successful career in IT before transitioning into broadcasting.

Maboi acknowledged that many South Africans only came to know her through her marriage to Letsholonyane, but stressed that she had established herself long before they walked down the aisle.

“But at the same time, I think the misconception with regards to me is that, one, people never really know much about my life and my background. I will admit to the fact that for a lot of people, they got to know of my existence through him, through this marriage. They were like, ‘Who is this person who would marry him?’, and then they tend to think I came out of nowhere and married this person. And to think it was being at YFM that actually got us together. But yeah, there's just so much misconception because people assume maybe I'm from a poor background. I'm not from a poor background, you know? I have a whole IT background,” she explained.

The broadcaster also revealed details about her love life. She revealed that she has turned down extravagant gifts, including not one but two Range Rovers, because she does not date for money. According to Maboi, expensive gifts often come with expectations and ulterior motives.

“So, I've never been that person that's like getting into a relationship for money or whatever. Even now in my divorce state, there’s guys who tried to throw money at me. Let me put it this way: I have declined two Range Rovers in the five years that I've been divorced because that's not what I'm there for. Also, I know why you want to buy that car. You want to trick me. Andizi,” she said with a laugh.
