Ratile Mabotja reportedly excluded from her late husband’s will

Businesswoman and reality TV star, Ratile Mabotja has reportedly been axed out of her late husband, Elias Lehlogonolo Mothapo Mabitsela’s, will.

The Mommy Club star’s estranged husband and father of her children, passed away earlier this year. His passing came at a time when he and Ratile were going though a divorce after a fair share of marriage squabbles that included alleged abuse, which Elias later denied in his interview with a popular local blog, Maphephandaba.

Breaking the news of his passing, the Mabitsela’s excluded Ratile as the wife in their statement, and recently City Press revealed that she was left out of Lehlohonolo’s will.

The publication reported that Ratile and her late husband were no longer together at the time of his death. It is believed that Lehlohonolo removed the reality TV star from his list of beneficiaries and added his son.

MDN News also took to their X (formerly Twitter) page to share that Ratile has been removed from the will.

Atleast he left something for the children.. Ratile will bounce back 100 times more because there’s nothing holding her back and I believe she’s a fighter.
