Lettie looking forward to Isidingo afterlife

Lesego Motsepe, the actress Isidingo fans have known as Lettie Matabane for the past 10 years, says she is looking forward to a bright life after the soapie.

The actress is even looking forward to watching her on-screen funeral on Today.

“The funeral does not scare me at all because I understand the funeral is for the character that I play and has nothing to do with Lesego Motsepe in real life,” she giggled. but its enough maan now, asizulala sitye lonto__for crying out loud this is d second week kulungiselelwa umngcwabo and THE TRADITION OF TALKING TO IZIDUMBU doesn't do it kum, perhaps i'm not too cultured.

The actress says she does not feel any bitterness because she understands that after 10 years the role of Lettie Matabane had to come to an end.

“I will miss the things the scriptwriters made her say, especially since Lettie Matabane was so different from who I am,” Motsepe said.

“Those who will miss me can now watch me in other productions in industrial theatre, straight theatre and poetry .” can she really do it? can't even imagine her reciting a poem.


Viewers of SABC3’s flagship soapie, Isidingo, will on Today witness the on-screen funeral of Lettie Matabane, who died in a car accident .

Sowetan yesterday exclusively publishes the pictures of the funeral you will see on Tuesday.

The accident, which happened while Lettie Matabane was on the phone talking to Vusi about his infidelity, has left fans of the character in shock – demonstrating the influence the soap opera world has over our lives.

She was knocked down by Paul (Carl Beukes).

According to the scriptwriters, Matabane’s mother Agnes (Keketso Semoko) will get to hear rumours that Vusi had planned to have a child with Siyanda (S’thandiwe Koroge).

Well, this is not true because that was not the case. This message is in a saved cellphone SMS to be revealed after the funeral.

I watched yesterday's episode, and I must the I sidingo writers are really good.

The whole funeral arrangement episode took me two weeks back when my mom passed away. I must say it was so real, the mattress issue, families bringing in food, cakes in basket and wearing a scarf on your head etc and since I'm Sotho I related to everything. 

I must applaud the writers for making it so real. I cried!

Why is Parsons avoidin Nan?
Is he? Mina the last time I watched Iside was on Friday. But I was worreid with the way Parsons was drifting away from Thandi, he just ahd no time for her. I mean in times of pain, that is where u need ur lovers support the most!

Cande
07 Oct 2008 03:16

shame MAddie how are you holding on doll???

No man Mowny i dont think she meant to offend u, same as me..its just that TVSA appears bad to others..

but anyway i have also realised that about Parsons, and shame Nandipha is olny wanting to talk about funeral arrangements..

Vusi should have told Lettie that u Siyanda was in his office, and what they were talking about, maybe Lettie une atla understanda rather than a se ke a buwa letho.

to top it all I just find out that the man I thought was the love of my life, my mcDreamy and Steamy has impregnated another girl.

The whole drama leading to her death was just unnecessary I thought. I mean, in real life, that would really have played itself out differently. 
but maybe I'm saying that coz I know I wouldn't have handled things that way.

Nna kere Poor Paul, its not his fault. I wouldn't take responsibility for dat if i was him and i would attend the funeral if i wanted to. if there is any1 to blame, that's vusi and dat siyanda bitch who couldn't go to a sperm bank kuba efuna umntwana ka vusi

i just wish every1 would leave PAUL d hell alone

Monwy, please be a sweety and find out for me who's decision was it for her to leave? hers or the storyline(producers)?

@Rene .. you can say that again ... i vowed not to cry for Lettie's Funeral  because she is still alive(unlike Lee's, because i knew she was no more) but Parson brought so much pain to me, he made me cry .eish
