Lebo Gunguluza, renowned business mogul and socialite, is heartbroken by the tragic passing of his daughter, Kelebogile Keo Mpolokeng, who died on 17 October. The grieving father confirmed the news in a message to TshisaLIVE, saying, “Yes, my daughter Keo passed away on Thursday last week. Please find details of her funeral service at CIC in Sandton tomorrow. We will appreciate your presence.”
As Gunguluza prepares to lay his daughter to rest, he has also had to address circulating rumours stemming from an old video clip. The clip, which shows him in a tussle with an unidentified woman, resurfaced on social media, sparking speculation during this difficult time. In a statement, Gunguluza firmly denied any connection between the video and the current circumstances surrounding his daughter’s passing.
“I unequivocally condemn the circulation of a misleading two-year-old video containing false and defamatory statements. Its timing amidst my daughter’s funeral preparations is particularly distressing. Accompanying this video is an entirely untrue and hurtful statement,” he said.
He went on to ask for privacy and understanding during this painful period: “I implore respect for my family’s grief and dignity during this agonising period. My family and I appreciate your support, kindness and understanding as we navigate this unbearable loss of my daughter.”
