Shebeshxt was driving to an ANC Siyanqoba Rally concert on 9 June before he collided with a truck on the R37 outside Polokwane.

Onthatile died on impact while he and his girlfriend, Onthatile's mother, Kholofelo, were admitted to hospital.

Thus, the documentary focused strongly on the experience.

The @MDNnewss X blogging page posted a clip to X, where Shebeshxt shares his heartbreak at the loss.

"[Losing her that way hurt me] to such an extent that I ended up feeling like a failure. It made me feel I had failed as a father ... It is a pain I know I will live with for the rest of my life," he said.

He said he wouldn't forget but would not let the tragedy damage him as the experience hit while he was still young.

"I lived for my daughter and only her. To be honest, I didn't live for anything else. She was my only reason to live," the rapper said, emotional.
