Bafana Bafana legend Kagisho Dikgacoi is fuming after Dipuo Moloi, a woman he claims he has never had a physical relationship with, revealed him as part of her “ex-boyfriend FC” on a popular podcast.
Moloi, during an interview on Sjuku and Gerald’s podcast, detailed her romantic history with a string of South African soccer stars, including Dikgacoi.
“The last time I spoke to her on the phone was long ago,” Dikgacoi told TshisaLIVE.
“I was starting life in the UK. Why bring up that topic now knowing I’ve never had physical contact with you?”
Moloi, during the podcast, recounted her alleged relationships with several prominent soccer players, including Andile Jali, Lych Phalane, Cheeseboy Mokoena, Joseph Makhaya, Gert Schalkwyk, Jimmy Tau, Itumeleng Khune, Simphiwe Tshabalala, Tsepo Masilela, Khama Billiat, and Thulani Serero.
“Lebogang Mokoena was my first boyfriend, and there’s nothing that mesmerised me,” Moloi said on the podcast. “I was the one who mesmerised them, but back in the days I was exposed to their lifestyle. My relationship with him [Lebogang] started when I was in matric. The list is endless.”
Dikgacoi, however, is adamant that Moloi’s claims are false and that she is seeking attention by dragging his name through the mud.
“She’s ruining people’s marriages with these malicious claims,” Dikgacoi said.
“All those players she has mentioned have families and have progressed in life. The same can’t be said about her because she is talking about the past. This is a sign of desperation because she is not progressing in life.”
Dikgacoi is not the only one who has been caught in the crossfire of Moloi’s revelations. Several other players mentioned on the podcast have been contacted by media outlets for comment, but many have chosen to remain silent.
“She must leave my name alone. I don’t know what she is talking about on that podcast” Dikgacoi said.
Efforts to reach Cheeseboy Mokoena, another player mentioned by Moloi, were unsuccessful. He did not respond to questions sent to him by TshisaLIVE.
The situation has sparked a debate about the ethics of revealing intimate details about past relationships, especially when those involved are public figures. While Moloi claims she is simply sharing her story, Dikgacoi and others have accused her of seeking attention and damaging reputations.
This incident highlights the complexities of navigating relationships in the public eye, particularly in the world of professional sports. The line between personal life and public persona can be blurred, and the consequences of revealing intimate details can be far-reaching.
