Business mogul and socialite Lebo Gunguluza’s heart is shattered by the loss of his daughter.

Gunguluza’s daughter, Kelebogile Keo Mpolokeng, passed away on October 17.

Gunguluza confirmed the passing of Keo in a text message to TshisaLIVE: “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.”

Shortly after, Gunguluza released a statement denying the claims relating to a video clip circulating on social media of him seen tussling with an unknown female.

The statement reads: “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.

“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.”
