Bubbly media personality Selbeyonce speaks on losing the love of his life

Media personality Selbeyonce is making great strides in his media career. He has even been nominated for a DStv Mzansi Viewers’ Choice award in the best radio personality category. However, he wishes that his partner could witness his success.

He recently opened up about the man he hoped he would marry.

“I don’t know if I can love again,” he says. He met his late partner, Sipho Maluleka, after a friend picked him up at Joburg’s OR Tambo Airport in 2015. “My friend took me to a house session and I spotted him, all quiet and reserved, in the corner.” As the drinks started flowing Sipho mustered the courage to speak to Selbeyonce and asked him on a date.

“He said let’s go out for lunch tomorrow. I was playing hard to get But that didn’t stop Sipho, who worked in finance, from pursuing him. A few months later the two were dating and madly in love. “Funny thing is, Sipho didn’t know I was famous.” After dating for a year, marriage was on the cards, Selbeyonce said.

In January this year however, Sipho was killed in a car crash.

“All of a sudden I got a call saying he had died on the spot.” Since the accident, he is slowly picking up the pieecs.

“I’d never been loved like that. I was his first gay lover. He knew his sexuality. He said he wanted to express it with someone he really loves and that was me.

“Sometimes I wake up and I drive to where he had the accident. It took me a long time to delete his number from my phone. I go through his Facebook profile often. I cry and I talk to him.”
