He is one of a select few African performers to break into Hollywood and one of the continent's few leading politicians to make a seamless and fruitful transition into politics.

Personal life

Arcilli Mokoena's mother was arrested and detained in solitary confinement by the Apartheid regime in 1976, which saw scores of students be killed by the Apartheid regime. This is as violent protests broke out around the region against the unjustified use of Afrikaans as a tool of instruction, as well as a slew of other issues. Mokoena's mother was both physically and emotionally abused, which has left her scared, but she is still in QwaQwa. Mokoena's mother is a political veteran in her own right, and her son, Fana Mokoena, took after her in political activism.

Mokoena is the eldest brother of the late Karabelo Israel Mokoena, Tlotlisang Dipallo Charity Xulu (née Mokoena) and Mamello Blessings Relebohile Mokoena.

Elias Bhuti Mokoena's stepfather is late, and so is his mother, Khasiane Alrina Ntloko, who regarded her as his mother because he was arrested while his real mother was imprisoned, and later had to study and work somewhere else. "Mada" is a term that has a long history in Mokoena.
