She then shares:

"My mom couldn't bear a life without him. So, less than a year later, she died from depression. I was angry at her for not fighting for me, at least."

The young woman then states that three years later, she finally met her biological father:

"The only words he ever said to me to date was, 'I'm not your father. Your mother died with the truth about your real father.' "

Despite what the man said, Lebohang says she still saw a resemblance between them.
