Edwin Sodi who? Kefilwe Mabote is living her best life after ending her relationship with the controversial businessman.
The award-winning influencer spoke publicly about their split for the first time a few days ago.
Kefilwe told her followers she was on a journey of rediscovery.
“Good Evening to my fellow Singletons. Being single?! A beautiful journey! Had to rediscover myself, wants, dislikes and non-negotiable,” she wrote.
The 31-year-old added that she was “nosediving back into work” after ending her “mourning period”. She lost her mother, Matlhodi Dorothy Mabote, in late December.
“Ready to conquer and take over. And remember ladies: one has to be amazing to be a good addition into your life. Azishe, let’s go.”

Edwin Sodi controversy
Kefilwe’s flashy lifestyle came under the spotlight in 2020 after the Hawks seized Edwin’s assets.
The tender tycoon and six other suspects were arrested in connection with a R255-million asbestos contract scandal.
His arrest came five years after the auditor-general flagged the contract as irregular and just one day after he testified at the Commission of Inquiry into State Capture.
The Asset Forfeiture Unit seized several of Edwin’s luxury cars, along with other assets worth millions of rands.
Kefilwe’s fans worried that the expensive cars she often flaunted on social media would be next.
She has been spotted driving a Bentley and a Porsche.
But the Hawks did not appear to confiscate any of the social media star’s assets. Just last week she shared a picture of her Porsche on Instagram.
“Love of my life… Kefi the stallion,” she captioned an image of the car’s steering wheel.
