Skomota, who was born in Limpopo but is now based in Tshwane, is known for his unique dance moves. He rose to fame after appearing on a YouTube podcast, talking about how much money he has and that he gives women R10 000 mavuso.

“My son’s doing well and even eating pap,” he said. He said Skomota’s in a better space.
“He’s always dressed in designer clothes and enjoying life,” he said.
Kholofelo said they wonder why people like saying bad things about the dancer.
“I don’t know who could be so evil to say that he’s dead. But God knows,” he said.
He mentioned that they were shocked when they saw the poster.
“That didn’t sit well with us, I must say. I believe he’s still going to have a long life,” he said.
He urged Skomota’s fans to always be careful of false information.
“He’s been hacked on his social media platforms a number of times, and that should just tell you how much people are jealous of him,” he said.
Kholofelo confirmed that Skomota’s still a dancer and singer.
“We’re booked and busy. People should follow him on our socials where we announce his upcoming gigs,” he said.
