Here's what Mzansi said about Kefiboo's marriage

Netizens still aren't convinced that Kefiboo was actually married, with others criticising her for being in a polygamous marriage:

LindyZann wasn't impressed:

"Kefilwe Mabote chose to be a second wife. How? Why? Imagine having that type of beauty and still choosing to be a man’s second wife."

yandisamvila24 said:

"But Kefilwe did fake her marriage though. And she proved the allegations to be true, with that straatmate behaviour."

DivaThabisa was stunned:

"Are you sure Kefilwe is 34 years old? She looks and sounds 40. Why would she date a married man and expect the lobola journey to go smoothly?"

Felicity_Tchaba posted:

"Kefilwe couldn’t make the 'divorce' story sound real? What terrible acting my goodness."

CeciliaMunyai added:

"Nothing gets to Kefilwe than people saying her marriage was fake."
