The couple – who have a 13-year age difference – have been married for almost a decade.
Kgosientsho was sworn in as minister in March 2023.

He tweeted from his official X account: “Today, my wife and I took the morning to visit Seaparankwe Primary School in Attridgeville to donate school uniforms as I do every year as part of my birthday social responsibility. This year will be our 25th year running the school uniform donation drive in Attridgeville”.
The minister added that he began the drive after he graduated and began work as a qualified engineer in 1999.
He added: “Together, we initiated this school uniform donation initiative as a way to give dignity to black learners who now sit in the very classrooms we once sat in.”
