Katlego Maboe speaks about cheating scandal

"It’s a simple thing where I was kissing someone I wasn’t meant to be kissing at the time.”


Heat Magazine once reported in 2012 that the award-winning Expresso presenter, Katlego Maboe, who was in a relationship at the time, cheated on his girlfriend with Lorna Maseko, who was allegedly married at that point. However, Maboe downplayed the reports and claimed that it wasn’t a matter of life and death.

Speaking to Gareth Cliff recently, the presenter revealed more than before, opening up about the incident on CliffCentral.com.  

“It’s a simple thing where I was kissing someone I wasn’t meant to be kissing at the time,” adding that he is not sure if the person was someone’s wife or not.  “What happened is‚ we went to the horse races‚ and we were together as a group of friends‚ and we had a couple of drinks and it was great. Later on in the night‚ there was a vibe. You know when there’s a vibe‚ it’s just instantaneous. You look into each other’s eyes and we snogged,” he said, denying that they later headed to a hotel room.

“It’s just kissing‚ that’s all we did. Nothing happened from there,” he said. “I think I’ve gotten to this stage of my life where I realise I’m ready for a proper relationship‚ one that can actually be long-lasting. My biggest excuse for the past couple of years has just been‚ I work too hard‚ and I find it unfair for me to be so dedicated to my work‚ but I can’t give the same sort of dedication to someone who loves me and who wants to be with me,” he added.
