Choreographer, dancer, and media personality Bontle Modiselle recently opened up about the profound pain she carries from losing her father to suicide. In a heartfelt interview with media personality and radio presenter Relebogile Mabotja at the 702 radio station studios, Bontle shared the tragic incident that occurred while they were sleeping in their home.
Reflecting on the topic of failure during the conversation with Relebogile, Bontle revealed that her childhood failure was a burden she had carried for many years. She expressed that she believed her father's death was her own fault.
Her father passed away in 1997 when Bontle was just six years old.
Sharing this emotional story, Bontle disclosed that she had dreamt about her father's passing, only to have her dream come true the following day.
Recalling the events, she said:
"I think I had seen him on his way to do it. I woke up, and my bedroom was closest to the kitchen. I went to see what my father was doing, and he had some things with him. He had a rope, but at that moment, I didn't think much of it. It was the early hours of the morning, so I didn't question him or anything like that."
Bontle added that her father repeatedly expressed his love for her, saying, "I love you, I love you, just know that I love you."
Continuing her heartbreaking account, she shared:
"We woke up in the morning, and it was very strange for my mom not to see her husband. We could feel that something was wrong. My mom was not okay; she sensed that something was off. She couldn't find my dad. We lived in a fairly big house at that time, and she searched everywhere but couldn't find him."
Through tears streaming down her face, Bontle revealed that her mother peered through a door keyhole and saw her husband hanging from a tree. It was her media personality sister, Refiloe, who mustered the courage to cut him down while their devastated mother had retreated.
In her emotional state, Bontle expressed the profound guilt she carried throughout her upbringing. She believed that she had taken her mother's husband away from her and her sister, robbing them of their father.
