South African actress and singer Thembi Seete recently celebrated a special moment for her family. Just weeks after marking her own 47th birthday, the award-winning star turned the spotlight on her son, Dakalo Mashawana, who just turned 7 years old.
Known for keeping her private life away from the public eye, Thembi once rarely posted anything about her son. But now that Dakalo is growing up, fans are getting to see more of the young boy — and the celebrations show just how much love surrounds him.
Thembi hosted a beautiful Bluey-themed birthday party for Dakalo. No expense was spared to make the day memorable. She shared adorable pictures from the party on Instagram, showing off the decorations, the happy birthday boy, and the special moments with family.
In her emotional caption, Thembi poured out her heart, celebrating her son’s growth and kindness.
She wrote, “Happy birthday to my sweet, loving, and energetic little boy, Dakalo DK Mash! You’re growing up so fast, and we’re constantly amazed by your kindness and joy. You’re the best gift, blessing, and joy in our lives. We thank God every day for bringing you into our world. Here’s to another year filled with happiness, good health, and exciting adventures. May your life be filled with laughter, learning, and love. We love you more than words can say! Happy birthday, my Mokomosos! Mummy and Daddy love you very much.”
Thembi also thanked the chef who made Dakalo’s birthday cake extra special, saying, “Special thanks to the amazing @chefnzuzaofficial for making DK’s day extra special with the most beautiful and delicious birthday cake. You’re the best, Chef. We appreciate you!”
Adding to the special day, Dakalo’s father, successful businessman and philanthropist Collen Mashawana, was also there to celebrate with them.
It’s clear that for Thembi, family moments like these mean everything. And judging from the beautiful pictures and sweet messages, little Dakalo felt all the love on his big day.
