THABANI BIYELA became famous when he and his twin brother declared their love for the Siko twins.
But now, tragically, any chance of a romantic outcome is all in the past.
The family have confirmed that Thabani was shot on Tuesday!
Thabani Biyela (36) and his twin brother declared their love for the popular Siko twins, Olwethu and Owami, of the Twice as Bold reality show in May.
The news of the death of Thabani was announced by the Siko twins via their Facebook page.
Owami and Olwethu (32) wrote: “How do you say goodbye to your twin?
“We are shattered as Siko twins to say goodbye to one of the Biyela twins. What a sad day. It’s OK not be OK. Kufa awudeli yhoo. What a day, Jehova.”
Thabani’s twin brother Sakhile said: “I can confirm that my twin is dead.
“Unfortunately, I’m not in a position to disclose any information right now. We’d like some privacy as the family.”

Olwethu said: “We were informed by a close family member about Thabani’s death.
“We are saddened by this. We are still trying to digest it. We were planning so many things with the Biyela twins.”
She said they were preparing to do a music video with them for their song, Imali.
“We were also hoping to feature them on the next season of Twice as Bold. But now this will be impossible.”
Thabani and Sakhile made their debut appearance on the Siko twins’ reality show in May.
At the time, Thabani told Daily Sun they were courting the Siko sisters.
“We are Zulu men and sizochatha (use sex booster) to ensure we satisfy them in bed. We can’t wait for that opportunity to come,” Thabani said at the time.
“We’ve never done group sex before, but we’re open to a new experience.
“We don’t think it’s something to be ashamed of because we also share one soul.”
But the relationship did not go very far with the Siko twins. They became close friends instead.
The Biyela twins from Empangeni, KZN were businessmen who operated in the taxi industry.
