If there was ever an award for the most private South African celebrity, Katelgo Danke would undoubtedly win the prize. The superstar has been in the entertainment industry for more than two decades and she has strategically kept her private life out of the glaring lights of the public.
Although Katlego has reached a mega level of fame, there is very little that we know about her, she has made sure that she gives fans just enough to keep them wanting more.
The trained thespian has a BA in Theatre and Performance from the University of Cape Town so it is no surprise that she kills any role she gets. Over the years, Katlego has starred in some of the most popular South African shows including Isidingo, and Backstage but it was her role as Dineo Mashaba on Generations that solidified her as a household name.
The star who is currently killing the role of Thati on Mzansi Magic's Gomora has a son in her real life, and although everyone knows, we do not know the details about her child and she barely shares any snaps of him on social media, so when she does, it makes headlines.
The star recently shared pictures of her son and fans were given a glimpse into her life as a mother. In one of the snaps she posted, the actress penned a sweet note about how her son had a sweet gesture for her, himself, and everyone in their home, "Apparently Tuesday was ‘Yay Day’. So this little beautiful hearted soul went about buying presents for everyone including himself to celebrate ‘Yay Day’. I pray your good hearted nature is never challenged to the point of doubt. I pray that you continue to see the value in being kind and selfless for the rest of your life," she wrote in part. Take a look at the heartwarming post below:
Katlego Danke is part of an elite list of celebrities who have successfully managed to protect the identities of their offspring. The very impressive list includes Lorna Maseko and her Gomora costar Thembi Seete.
Another megastar who has managed to conceal the identity of her children is former Idols judge, Unathi Nkayi. The multitalented star has always been resolute in her decision to keep her and Thomas Msengana's two children out of the spotlight.
In a rare move, Unathi shared pictures of her daughter when she brought her on the set of Idols, "Yesterday was a special episode coz my baby (Baby Idols) came to work with me and spent the day with people who knew her even before she was born. She auditioned, directed, produced and we danced in between takes," she wrote in part.
On her son's 17th birthday, Unathi penned a heartfelt note to him on social media that left us teary-eyed, "Today you are 17 and I am so proud of you. I was so scared when the doctor told me I was pregnant with you and daddy just laughed and said ‘Let’s just have a baby and if he is a son I shall name him Sinako.’ I remember meeting you for the first time as Dr Barero (may his soul rest in eternal peace) put you in my arms. We stared at each other and didn’t blink for what felt like forever," she wrote in part.
