Mabote, who rose to fame as one of South Africa’s first luxury influencers through brand partnerships and high-end fashion endorsements, also gained a wider audience after appearing in the third season of Netflix’s Young, Famous & African.

In March, she shared a post of herself with the caption: “Solid identity and firm foundation fully known by God) reflecting the spiritual tone that has defined her recent online presence.

A few months before that, Mabote had shared lobola cows on her page, sparking speculation about her marital journey.

While Mabote has been married multiple times, she has avoided making the details of her past relationships public. This discretion has fuelled speculation online but it also highlights her commitment to keeping some aspects of her personal life sacred even as she shares much of her spiritual journey openly.
