The reality TV star, who is pregnant with Themba's baby, said on her social media pages she had received death threats after parting ways with her former partner.
“I have been receiving death threats, from calls, to texts threatening my life and my son's life. Those threats have been direct and it has created a hostile situation for me and those close to me. I've been receiving pictures of my car, home and son with threats. Some of these messages and calls are coming from people close to the person I was in a relationship with.”
Mpho said she had consulted her lawyer, and would refrain from speaking about her former relationship as she wanted to move on with “grace”.
“I have been in talks with my lawyer and I'm seeking further advice and will not be doing any media interviews about my past relationship until this has been resolved legally. I am trying hard to move away from this chapter but the defamation that has come with it hasn't been pleasant, to the extent of threats leading to my unborn baby, son and myself.
“I have no interest in the ex's life or what he does, as our relationship ended a long time ago and we haven't been in contact in a while, but the constant posting of my images on his page and talk about me on interviews are contradictory to reality and truth.”
