BEHIND the dancing and humour that made him a social media star, Tsekeleke is carrying a pain few of his followers know about.
The 41-year-old entertainer from Mabopane in Tshwane has emotionally opened up about losing two kids through miscarriages suffered by his girlfriend, Black Cat Girl.
Tsekeleke, whose real name is Mixon Tholo, shared his painful experience during a recent podcast interview, revealing how deeply the losses affected him.
"I was crying. It didn't sit well with me because it was my second child. Even the first one didn't make it," he said.
His girlfriend, whose real name is Mathapelo Kanyane, suffered two miscarriages during their relationship.
"I was in Giyani and when I came back, I found out that she lost the baby. She said that she was bleeding and lost the baby," he said.
Tsekeleke said he still doesn't understand what may have caused the miscarriages and continues to struggle emotionally with the situation.
"I don't even know if her dating me and the other men could've been the reason or not," he said.
During the interview, Tsekeleke also reflected on how his relationship with Black Cat Girl started.
He admitted that at first, his interest in her was influenced by social media trends and online popularity rather than genuine romantic intentions.

"I first saw her on social media when she was dating Skomota and I then thought I need her. I needed her to trend because I had no one to work with at the time," he said.
However, he explained that things later changed between them and their relationship became serious.
"I'm in love with her and we're in a real relationship," he said.
Tsekeleke has built a strong following on social media through his dancing, humour and entertaining online content.
Despite his public image and energetic personality, he said the loss of the two pregnancies remains one of the most painful experiences he has gone through in his personal life.
