Lehlogonolo Mothapo Mabitsela, a businessman and the husband of The Mommy Club reality TV star, Ratile Mabitsela, has tragically passed away at the age of 44. His family confirmed the heartbreaking news, describing his death as an overwhelming loss. In a statement, they expressed their deep sorrow, asking for privacy as they navigate this difficult time.
The family’s statement reads: “It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved brother and son, Elias Lehlogonolo Mothapo Mabitsela.” They expressed gratitude for the outpouring of love and support but urged the public to respect their need for space and privacy as they grieve.
A close friend of Ratile confirmed the sad news, describing the situation as “tragic” and noting that Ratile is too distraught to speak publicly. She added that, despite facing marital difficulties in the past, the couple, who shared three children, had remained united. Last year, reports surfaced about the couple’s strained relationship, but they publicly clarified that they were mourning Ratile’s grandmother and needed time away from the media.
As the family continues to process their grief, they have requested prayers and understanding during this time of loss. Further updates will be provided when the family is ready.
