It is a sad week for former Midday News and Africa Watch anchor on Metro FM, Kgopedi Lilokoe who lost her husband.

The star took to her social media to share the news as it is the hardest thing anyone can go through.

The South African entertainment industry unfortunately has women who have lost their husbands.

Late Gospel singer, Sfiso Ncwane’s widow, Ayanda Ncwane; former Rhythm City actor and singer, Dumi Masilela’s widow, actress Simphiwe ‘Simz’ Ngema; former Our Perfect Wedding (OPW) presenter, Kayise Ngqula, are some of the women who have experienced this great loss.

According to a tweet, Kgopedi’s husband, Rev Thapelo Lilokoe (affectionately called ‘Pastor T’ by many Bethesdans) of Bethesda Methodist Mission, also left behind his children with the news anchor.

Rev Lilokoe was responsible for officiating Somizi’s actres mother Mam’ Mary Twala’s funeral last year.
