Is Keo Motsepe really a prince?
Yes, according to an interview with NPR, Key Motsepe is indeed a prince. When Marc Silver quizzed him on the topic, Motsepe said:
I am a prince, yes sir, from my dad’s side. My grandpa was a prince of a province back in South Africa. My dad declined the position and gave it to my uncle, his younger brother. But because I’m my dad’s only son, I became a prince.
Does a prince of his prominence have any duties or responsibilities?
There’s a responsibility to look after the area they’re from, they talk to the community and the community talks to my uncle about fixing the street here, the buildings there.

On this, the prince said: “And I’m reliable so people rely on me.”
