He found love a long time ago with Ms. Palesa and has kept that same fire of love burning in the long-term relationship. Hopefully, their relationship will take them to the altar.<\/p>\n<p>He is so proud of her, using every opportunity he gets to show her off on his social media platforms. The longevity of their relationship really shows how well they fit each other. Palesa herself prefers a low-key life. She appreciates the spotlight but has made it clear she doesn&#8217;t want to be a celebrity.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Gift Mokhampanyane&#8217;s Relationship With His Father is Still Sour<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Gift Mokhampanyane is obviously not in any communication with his father because he abandoned him while he was still young, and he has made peace with the fact. He issued a statement saying he and his dad had a very choppy relationship. He grew up with his father being in and out of his life, and at some point, his father decided to stop showing up at all, and he had to grow up without a father figure.<\/p>\n<p>The absence of his father in his life had so much impact on young Gift Mokhampanyane while he was growing up, as he kept thinking about how his life would turn out, seeing that he does not have a father to guide him through life. He also stated that the last time he saw his father was post-surgery &#8211; just after he had undergone a serious medical procedure when he was in Grade 10.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>He is Active on Social Media<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Gift Mokhampanyane Instagram boasts almost 13k followership, and he&#8217;s fairly active, posting around a hundred times as at August 2022 since its inception in late 2014. His Twitter handle @thee_Gifted_1 has surprisingly accumulated more followers than his Instagram; his many followers on the bird app are numbered at more than 15k.<\/p>\n<p>He has a Facebook account named Gift Ghettoluv Mokhampanyane, where he shares old memories and pictures of himself and his mother.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, his girlfriend @Palesahole lives a very different life even though they are together. She is a little less outgoing and doesn&#8217;t fancy the fame and spotlight. She runs a private Instagram account with less than a thousand followers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gift Mokhampanyane (born April 16, 1988) is a -year-old South African actor, philanthropist, and TV presenter who is best known for playing the role of Daniel in Skeem Saam, the popular South African series.
