In a shocking turn of events, Generations: The Legacy actress Letoya Makhene found herself in the midst of a perilous domestic dispute.
The incident took place at the residence of her lover, Lebohang Keswa, and involved a firearm being allegedly pointed at Makhene.
This harrowing altercation unfolded at Keswa’s mother’s house in Mohlakeng on the Westrand just two weeks ago, bringing the couple dangerously close to becoming yet another statistic in South Africa’s alarming rise in gender-based violence.
The turmoil has led Keswa to take legal action and secure a protection order against her cousin at the Randfontein magistrate’s court on August 26.
The dispute stemmed from the ownership of their grandmother’s house, which was recently passed down to Keswa’s mother, who tragically passed away.
Keswa, who was staying at the contested house to mourn her mother’s death, detailed the cousin’s persistent harassment and claimed that he seeks to claim the property now that both her grandmother and mother have passed away.
The cousin, who had previously been absent from family affairs, has suddenly resurfaced with a keen interest in the inheritance. Keswa, in response to his actions, has taken the necessary step of hiring a 24-hour VIP security group for protection.
The grief-stricken Keswa expressed her distress at the altercation, as it disrupted the mourning process and instilled fear for their lives.

When approached for comment, the cousin chose to remain silent, merely stating, “My sister, just do the story and leave me alone,” and ignored any further inquiries. This silence only adds to the mystery surrounding his sudden involvement and raises questions about his motives.
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the intersection between personal tragedy, familial disputes, and the escalating issue of gender-based violence in South Africa. It highlights the urgent need for action to address the underlying causes of such violence and to provide support and protection for victims.
