Speaking to Showbiz in an interview over the weekend after his performance in Selebi-Phikwe, Mokhali said he has been absent from the music scene, after the divorce because it was hard for him to concentrate.

He said during their good times, Mpule gave him courage to sing and compose new songs.  He admitted that during their marriage he felt that divorce was inevitable. "When I sang the song Mpule, it was a prophecy. I could foresee that we were going to divorce. My ancestors revealed to me that she was doing bad things."
