WATCH: Sibahle Mpisane Speaks On How Much She Loved Khune

Socialite, Sibahle Mpisane had a touching interview with host Lungelo KM on the Engineer Your Life YouTube Channel. She revealed that in 2018 she had a construction degree and was planning to leave South Africa. She then had the accident which nearly killed her and broke all her bones and left her needing therapy to be able to speak again. In the interview, she reveals her deep love for Khune and how he encouraged her to train and take care of her body.

Sibahle says she is a stepdaughter to her mum, and when she divorced with her father, the relationship changed: She didn’t have the support that she needed and she had to do everything herself.

She revealed that in 2021 she had a new boyfriend who was very private and it was difficult as they could not hold hands and he did want to be with her in public. She says she was in love with him and when she broke up with him she could not get over him until recently.
