According to TimesLIVE, Sello was honoured when the founder of Sakhumzi Restaurant celebrated South African Soweto icons who are alive. Sello said:

“We watch with sadness when people are always celebrated for their work upon their passing. Sakhumzi Maqubela, who as an icon himself, took the time to appreciate and recognise the little that one does to make a difference."

The campaign to honour 50 Soweto icons was held on 2 June in Soweto, which meant a lot to Sello, who says:

"This day felt so much better than most of the recognitions I have received because it was at home."

The event visited Orlando High School, where Sello spoke to the students. He said being in Soweto reminded him of attending Orlando High School, which "brought out that little boy in me who was once as ambitious and in a hurry to make it in the world.”
