She is very proud of how the playing field has changed for women in sports. “There is a good number of us in front of the camera and behind the scenes. A few years back, it was only a handful of us but now we could do a whole show with just women,”.
July 2018:- Mpho Letsholonyane shared a heartbreaking post about the baby she lost 10 years ago. “10 years ago I started wearing this ring on my right hand to commemorate the loss of my unborn child… I wore it as a constant reminder of the 1st time I ever felt absolute unconditional love for another soul. A reminder never to forget,” she wrote.
In an interview she did same month she said: “Today, I retire this ring. I am finally setting myself free from the pain and guilt of not being able to carry you to term… Of not being able to give you life… even though I will still remember to never forget…”
