kay sibiya took a break from TV to focus on deejaying and realising new music FORMER Uzalo and Generation: The Legacy actor Khumbulani “Kay” Sibiya has not abandoned his acting career, yet.

The 36-year-old actor from Durban, who turned DJ in 2022, announced that he’ll soon be appearing on the small screen again.

 

 

 
Kay, who made his name playing Ayanda on SABC1’s most-watched soapie, Uzalo, and Siyanda Khoza in Generation: The Legacy, before he took a break from TV to focus on deejaying, has recently finished shooting a TV show.

“I can’t mention it now due to terms in the contract, but I’ll also be in a movie and will reveal more details at a later stage,” he said.

Acting is part of my life and people are still going to watch me on their small screens. I’m still in negotiations with one of the top soapies but for now, no agreements but if everything goes well, I might appear again,” he said.

Kay, who has appeared in other TV shows like Imbewu: The Seed and Lockdown Heights, noted that deejaying is different from acting.

“In deejaying or in the music industry, you always need to market yourself to be in the eyes of the people and for event organisers to recognise you.”He said another challenge is that many event organisers and others who book him still regard him primarily as an actor.

“I’m lucky because I do all this with love. It helps put food on the table,” he said.

In November 2023, Kay released his debut single titled Kuyabongwa and recently released a second single titled Athandwe.

He also shared that he’s preparing to release his debut EP next year.
