Maisha na Kazi

Veleko alikulia Cape Town na alihudhuria Shule ya Upili ya Luhlaza katika Khayelitsha. Mnamo 1995 alisoma muundo wa picha katika Cape Technikon. Baada ya kuhamia Johannesburg, alisomea upigaji picha katika Warsha ya Picha ya Ukumbi wa Soko (1999–2004), katika shirika linaloanzishwa na David Goldblatt ambalo linalenga kutoa mafunzo rasmi kwa wapiga picha vijana ambao vinginevyo hawataweza kupata rasilimali kama hizo.

Mwaka wa 2003, Veleko aliandika graffiti katika Cape Town na Johannesburg, Mfululizo wa filamu ulioenda kwa jina la The ones on top won't make it Stop! katika maonyesho yake ya kwanza ya solo katika Johannesburg Art Nyumba ya sanaa. Picha hizi zikazingira hali ya kijamii na kisiasa ya baada ya ubaguzi wa kikatili Afrika Kusini. </nowiki> Mwaka huo huo, Veleko aliteuliwa kushiriki katika Tuzo mpya za Sanaa za MTN Contemporaries.
