Family feud
Speaking about a recent incident, Makhene said tensions escalated after she intervened in a situation involving her grandmother.
“So today, because I fought for and stood up for my 103yr old grandmother who was being emotionally and verbally abused by her own son (my uncle) in her home, he has decided to do what every bored, scared and narcissistic individual has done with me. Go on a smear campaign. Lie about me and my integrity,” she wrote.
She added that the dispute has affected her family’s livelihood.
“Because they can’t put food on the table for their own families, they think that it’s ok to take food out of my children’s mouths,” she added.
She added that she would not back down and would “keep rising” despite attempts to intimidate her.
“Well, I am not going to take this lying down. Don’t make idle threats. Next time when you put a gun to my head, pull the trigger because I’m only gonna [keep] getting up. I’m gonna keep rising higher, and I will keep reminding you that you should’ve taken my mother’s offspring out along with her.”
