Born in Phalaborwa, Limpopo, Mofenyi was destined for success from an early age. He learned the art of business and drive from his surroundings, having been born into a family of entrepreneurs. He was a motivated young man with a vision that reflected through at all times.

He joined the SABC Sports family three years after his arrival in Johannesburg, in 2002, working on series such as Sport Bars, Warriors (SABC1), Sport on 3, Tseleng (SABC 2), and lasted at the public broadcaster for ten years. While working for the SABC, he established Koma Entertainment, which released his debut album, Prophet Mo, The Prophecy, in 2003. In 2012, he founded Tetelo Ya Kaelo, and in 2013, he founded Koma Publishing, which published his 283: The Bad Sex Bet is a book written in the form of a letter from a father to his son, written overnight as the father prepares to meet his fate the next day.
