Bathong, Tsekeleke, is going through a lot on social media as many netizens are criticising him for his weight, especially after he joined a reality TV show, Lose it or Lose Me on Mzansi Magic, which is helping those who are overweight lose weight.
On Tuesday, 9 September 2025, the popular entertainment commentator Jabu Macdonald recently expressed his concerns about the reality TV star's weight since he made his debut on the show.
The online user emphasised how the influencer, who just celebrated his 40th birthday in August 2025, hasn't lost any body fat since the weight loss reality TV show made its debut on our screens. He further shared that this was a waste of time, as instead of losing, he is gaining even more.

SA believes Tsekeleke hasn't lost weight
Shortly after the online user expressed his concerns about the star's weight, many netizens also agreed with him as they believed that he had lost some kilos. Here's what they had to say below:
@MokoenaDee said:
"He mentioned that the dietician assigned to him appears overweight and is not leading by example. Those are valid concerns."

"He gains instead of losing."
@tlotlo_math commented:
"Guys losing weight and working needs a lot of discipline and consistency, and knowing what you are doing, eating right and taking the right stuff Tseki needs to fast for the whole year, he will lose weight."
@mo_hau responded:
"Tseki never wanted to lose weight; he went there for the girlfriend, and now that the girlfriend is busy with another man, he has lost interest. Also, he doesn't have self-respect. When offered booze, he still drinks. That, for me, is a red flag because his weight will catch up with him one day."
@username_77879 replied:
"I think the show approached him to be the face/pull. He doesn't want to lose the weight. He went because they asked him to, and they're going to pay him for his efforts."
@weirdboy85 mentioned:
"He must know that after he loses weight, his career is over. Same as Alostro and Skomota. The day people find out that they don’t qualify for Wes Koppies, it’s over."
