Between disillusionment, heartbreak and abuse :: Mmegi Online

Lebogang fell in love while on a bus from Francistown to Gaborone. She thought she had found the love of her life. She tells Mmegi Correspondent, NNASARETHA KGAMANYANE, of her seven-year relationship in which disillusionment gave way to heartbreak and eventually assaults.

Looking at her, Lebogang* (not her real name) is a very beautiful woman who any man would like to marry. She is the real ‘marriage material’. She is also the kind of woman other women admire.

“I fell in love with Thabo* when I was 19-years-old. We met on a bus from my home village at Masunga. It was going to Gaborone from Francistown. He looked handsome and innocent. As he sat next to me, my heart started beating fast. It was love at first sight. As you know, riding a bus from Francistown is a very long journey and we started chatting and he said everything right. I was spellbound by his charms and fell for him. Upon arrival, we exchanged numbers,” she said with a smile as if her memories were taking her back to that moment.
