Nightmare for Tiisetso Masike as car gets repossessed on birthday

SABC TV presenter Tiisetso Masike shared a heartbreaking update – his car was repossessed on his birthday.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), he opened up to his followers, writing: “Not my car being repossessed on my birthday. I hate it here. I am so drained. If this is what rock bottom looks like, I don’t wish it even on my worst enemy. Happy Fuc**n Birthday to me.”

Fans quickly rallied around him with words of support and encouragement. @Bokang_BigSis reassured him, saying, “Koloi a se selo, you will bounce back.”

@makinkuna shared their own struggles, writing, “I’ve hit rock bottom before & it’s not a nice place to be, but now looking back I’m glad it happened, because the lessons I’ve learnt are valuable. I lost a car, a house, a relationship, a mother, grandmother, all in the space of 2 years but God is faithful. Be strong & forge ahead.”

@kuhlemadide added, “We are so sorry, stranger. Sending love and hugs to you.”

@StraightupGal encouraged him to stay strong: “Tiisetso, God is rolling out the red carpet and making way for something bigger. You’ll be here in no time talking about the blessings you’ve received. Until then, ngwana ko gaye, may you endure the turbulence during this storm and come out stronger and happier. All the best – you got this!”

Despite the difficult moment, Tiisetso’s signature humour remained intact. He found a silver lining, joking, “The Content Creator in me took so much material from this. Can’t wait to create funny skits for you guys. Neighbors never fail to comment nonsense. One day, we will laugh again.”

The Daily Sun previously reported that Tiisetso first started creating content in 2016, but his big break came in 2020 through TikTok. Since then, he has won awards, landed acting roles, and secured a spot as a TV presenter.

Originally from Mahikeng, North West, Tiisetso is known for his hilarious and relatable content about African families.

According to YouthVillage, his viral skits – ranging from women gossiping at funerals to parents disciplining kids – have earned him a loyal following.
