As the lovers of television, there are people that we grew up watching and admiring, but we do not see much of them today which is why we start wondering whether they are still a part of the industry or whether they are doing okay or not because we find ourselves attached to them.
I came acroos a post on social media where people were talking about actors which they miss seeing on screen. Some of them are even wondering if these actors are doing okay in life wherever they are. I tried doing some digging about each actor on their current occupations and I hope I have have found will be enough to answer some of your questions.
Bubu Mazibuko
We started seeing her on the second season of SABC’s fire Drama, Yizo Yizo where she was playing the role of Minky. Bubu played as Betsy on a 2006 film known as Catch a fire, She was Thuli on Gaz’lam between 2002 to 2005 which is the role that got her nominated for a Duku Duku award for Best female Actor in Drama. She also appeared in movies such as Jerusalem, Long walk to Freedom and more. The last time I saw Bubu was in 2019 when she took part on a film called Zulu Wedding.
On the first of September 2020, someone personally checked up on Bubu via twitter and the response that he got from Bubu herself is that She is good, she is doing better than she ever did in her acting career. She said there is time set for her return but she is still enjoying her life in the mean time.

This is a man with a huge story to tell in the acting industry but there is nothing much said about him. Jafta has appeared in a number of high profile shows and movies.
