This time a year ago my gorgeous champion of a wife @lesego_tshepang brought into this world the most amazing person I know, Lereko Cuba Irish Mokoena. I thank God for everyday we've shared young Cuba. I went from a young man to a MAN cause of you papa. One day when you're all grown and naughty you'll read this and think ,"Daddy you were so soft." and I'll tell you "It's All LOVE kiddo." I love you my lil G. HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY my KING ? #sonofagun #Koena #MyJoy #bloodofmyblood #Lereko #Cuba #Irish #ThankyouSego #GodisGood
