According to TshisaLIVE, after studying sound engineering in 2000 DJ Cleo enrolled at Wits University to do a short course in property investment in 2019 and later decided to do a BA degree in business management.

In 2020, DJ Cleo revealed that he had returned to school after ignoring the idea for nearly 20 years and had a lot of people inspired on social media.

DJ Cleo told TshisaLIVE that while it is tough juggling studying with the demands of the entertainment industry, he plans to study more after he graduates in 2023.

“One always suffers. Right now, I missed an assignment deadline because I’m finalising my album due October 8th … I plan on getting my MBA, but there’s also many distractions like my career and parenting, so I will decide when the time comes. The end goal is an MBA or another degree (BA Law)” he told the publication.
