Lilian Dube’s previous occupation before fame
In her interview with Somizi, the actress shared that she did not wake up famous. She talked about her most profound secrets, which she had not disclosed for years. In her own words, she said:
“I’m a girl from Lesotho; I had to hustle my way up to the top surviving through unthinkable ways. I did so many jobs that I didn’t want the world to know about, but l will say it out. I was once a prostitute, and l had no choice but to indulge in such business for survival.
I also worked as a domestic worker, nurse aid and tea girl. Even though I act all strong lm a victim of rape, l never reported my case. I wanted to, but my close family member suggested they will deal with the issue in a family way. Thank you, Somizi, for inviting me to this show. I feel relieved.”
