And, obviously, if you have siblings, there might be that kind of rivalry, but we don’t have that kind of relationship. “We are very supportive, and we have a really good friendship between us,” she stated.Bontle explained that each of her sisters took different paths in their careers. Refilwe started as a model and is also an advocate for people with albinism, while Candice is known for her work as an actor.“There’s also a four-year gap between Refilwe and then myself and Candice. So we have been through different stages of entering the entertainment space at different times. Also, our point of entry was very different”.Bontle emphasised that their diverse interests and experiences have made their bond stronger, not competitive.“We have also diversified. We have also gone into different things,” she said, highlighting the supportive nature of their relationship, which includes sharing advice and even helping each other navigate tricky industry negotiations.Bontle Modiselle-Moloi (left) with her sister Refilwe (centre) and Candice (right).

So don’t over-explain yourself,” she said.IOL
