Lebo M’s reality TV show won’t see the light of day. ZiMoja can confirm that conflict behind the scenes became too much for producers to handle. According to sources, the tension between Lebo M, real name Lebo Morake, and Carol Bouwer has intensified to a point of no return.
BOUWER IS SAID TO BE FRUSTRATED BY STUBBORN LEBO M
According to the source in the know, Bouwer is frustrated because there is no direction and Primedia wants nothing to do with the show at the moment because it has brought nothing but conflict. The source adds that Bouwer is frustrated by Lebo because he is not forthcoming when it comes to accountability for the R3 million in cash he was given. As a result their friendship is beyond repair.
BOUWER CONFIDED IN LEBO’S WIFE
According to another source, Lebo M’s wife Pretty Samuels also played a role when it came to the breakdown of Bouwer and Lebo’s relationship. The source says during their happier times traveling abroad, Bouwer took a liking to Pretty and apparently even told her some of her darkest secrets. "She did not know Pretty well to be telling her her deepest secrets," says the source. According to the source, as soon they came back to Mzansi, Pretty offloaded everything Bouwer told her to her best friend who happens to be sangoma allegedly. "One day we were shooting and Pretty’s friend started acting up and went into a trans," add the source. "While in trans, the sangoma approached Bouwer and told her exactly what she had confided in Pretty. Carol did not buy into the reading as she knew exactly who she told her secrets to," the source said, adding that from that day, their relationship has been sour. The source says Lebo does not care about his estranged relationship with Bouwer because he also discovered that she was alleged not honest and open when it came to finances. "Lebo believes that Carol was trying to cash in using his name. He discovered that she received millions and gave him about R3 million. He was just playing along with this whole my brother and sister relationship facade," adds the source. Speaking on behalf of Primedia, Loretta Ngakane refused to comment on season 2 of Lebo M: Coming Home show being cancelled. She also said she will not be commenting on the relationship breakdown between Lebo and Bouwer. "Unfortunately their relationship has nothing to do with us," Ngakane said.
