Benoni teenager Tebogo Moashetsi became a TikTok sensation when he gained 15 500 followers within three months.
The 18-year-old has gained followers such actors Clement Maosa, Thulane Nkululeko Shange and other public figures.
Tebogo started using the app to entertain others through comedy even though he didn’t consider himself a comedian.
“I used to be insecure about myself. I created the account to prove I am worth something and show I could do anything I set my mind on and succeed, even when others said I wouldn’t,” he said.
“I didn’t expect so much love; hence, I will always be grateful to my followers because they love me for who I am.”

The Chief A Luthuli Secondary School learner said it only takes him about 15 to 20 minutes to create his content.
“What set me apart from other tiktokers is that I don’t entertain haters. Most of them always respond to hate comments they get from people. I will never do that because one thing I know is that if you don’t have haters then you’re doing something wrong,” he said.
On August 21, Tebogo released a song titled Motivation.
He explained the song is about not giving up, no matter how hard things may be. The chorus goes: “Your mindset can get you problems if you keep a slow mind because the world has deeper problems and they need a gold mind. It’s either you get rich or die trying.”
“I and Kay Helly wanted to carry over the message that you must change your mindset. You have to work hard for everything you desire because we all have passion but lack motivation.”
In the next five years, Tebogo wants to be known as one of SA’s best actors; however, after matric he will study robotics.
“As I am in matric, I don’t have enough time to join acting classes. I follow acting classes or acting tips channels on YouTube.”
Tebogo encourages others to join TikTok as it is a platform that enables you to be yourself and can showcase your talent as well.
To see his work, follow him on TikTok: @tebzar_205 or YouTube: tbg lyricist.
