Previous relationships

With her work resume growing, Kefilwe is growing her real estate company JHB Live Real Estate which focuses on the higher end of the housing market. 

However, it’s her relationship status that has done the most publicity. She was previously linked to controversial businessman Edwin Sodi in 2020. 

She later confirmed in early 2021 that their relationship had ended. 

The former couple made headlines in October 2020 when Sodi was arrested for his alleged involvement in the controversial multimillion rand Free State asbestos audit project. He was publicly arrested and had most of his assets seized.

Her relationship at the time was “happy, healthy and private” and insisted that they did not have any business ties, Kefilwe said.
