Katlego Maboe fell from grace after a video of his wife accusing him of giving her an STD went viral. This caught many by surprise as the star has always kept a clean image in the public eye. In the video, Katlego admitted to cheating with a woman on a work trip. Following the video, the presenter lost out on all of his sponsorships and endorsement. He was relieved from his duties as a presenter on SABC 3’s Expresso.
