The rise of social media has brought to light a captivating and troubling story about a businessman from Limpopo who founded a luxury footwear brand. He is currently living in Paris, France due to death threats he has received. This story involves a bitter divorce, an alleged murder plot, and the flight of the entrepreneur to a foreign country.
Lekau Sehoana, the founder of Drip Footwear, has been the subject of intense media attention since the City Press published an article about his messy divorce. His estranged wife, Lebohang Machaba, demanded 50% ownership of the company, which sparked a legal battle between the two.
Lekau filed two legal cases against Lebohang, one for extortion and another for attempted murder. The situation escalated when one of the alleged hitmen was arrested in Wierdabrug, Pretoria. The suspect confessed to his connection with Lebohang, with reports that she offered R1.2 million for the successful execution of her husband. These revelations only intensified the public’s fascination with the situation.
Social media users noticed that Lekau had updated his Twitter location to Paris, and rumors began to spread. He had previously reported Lebohang’s demands for half of the company’s shares to the Pretoria police in April. The couple’s lack of a community of property marriage complicated the legal proceedings, leaving the legitimacy of Lebohang’s claims in doubt.
In a recent interview, Lekau denied owing his ex-wife anything, saying that Drip Footwear was founded after their separation. He reiterated his ongoing financial support for Lebohang, including monthly payments of R50,000 and covering her living expenses. He accused her of extortion and stated that she has repeatedly changed her contact information to avoid being served with divorce papers.
This complex situation sheds light on the turbulent life of Lekau Sehoana, who went from a successful luxury footwear brand owner to a man living in fear for his life. It is a story that blends the glamour of entrepreneurship with the very real and human drama of love, betrayal, and survival. As this story continues to unfold, the public remains captivated by the twists and turns of this narrative.
