Lesotho-born actor Lehlohonolo Mayeza, who plays Leruo in ‘Outlaws’ discusses his late parents, his difficult upbringing and being homeless.

Speaking to The Citizen, the Outlaws actor Lehlohonolo Mayeza opens up about losing his parents, being homeless and securing the role of Leruo.

Mayeza, who was born and raised in a small village called Ha-Tjope in Lesotho tells the publication that his parents died when he was young.


 

 

 

He adds that he moved to Maseru, seeking greener pastures after finishing his matric but ended up homeless and lived on the streets for nearly a year.

“At the time, I was not even thinking about furthering my studies. I needed a job because I had nothing, no food, clothes, shelter, nothing. I eventually got a job as a security officer. From there, I started looking for means to go to school.”

“I then posted on Facebook, asking people to help me pay for my supplementary exam fees because I couldn’t afford to pay. A guy named Kananelo Boloetse helped me. I passed my supplementary exams and then applied for university,” he adds.

Mayeza also reveals that he graduated from Limkokwing University of Creative Technology in Lesotho, where he studied for a Film Production and Television degree.

PLAYING LERUO IN ‘OUTLAWS’
The rising star Lehlohonolo Mayeza reveals to TshisaLIVE that he’s a rural boy from the mountainous areas of Lesotho just like his Outlaws role, Leruo Tseole.

“I am a rural boy who is used to riding horses and donkeys for they are the only means of transport there. I grew up in rural areas, where people would steal cattle from Zululand.

“I know that story and have seen it with my own eyes, for I used to herd animals where we were living, which was near the borders of the two countries.”

Mayeza adds that he doesn’t think Zulu people are going to like his character, particularly viewers who are victims of cattle theft.

In the Showmax series Outlaws, Leruo steals Zulu cattle, brings a lot of heartbreak but can show love.

The contemporary Western series, Outlaws, which is created by The River, Legacy’s creators Phathu Makwarela and Gwydion Beynon from Tshedza Pictures also stars Siyabonga Shibe, Mnqobi Kunene, Lehlohonolo Mayeza and Nirvana Nokwe-Mseleku.

Springboks fans troll England’s Mike Tindall: ‘A common drunk’

South Africans have taken to trolling former England player Mike Tindall, who trash-talked the Springboks ahead of their Rugby World Cup semi-final showdown this weekend.

Tindall – who is married to King Charles’s niece Zara Phillips – revealed his disdain for the boys in green and gold. He even claimed that it would be a “disgrace” if the Boks won the World Cup again.

MIKE TINDALL – WHAT DID HE SAY ABOUT SPRINGBOKS?

Rugby World Cup quarter-final games.

Mike – a former England player who helped win the 2003 Rugby World Cup – was particularly annoyed at SA’s defeat of France.


 

 
The 45-year-old claimed he was disappointed at the host country’s loss and even stated that they were a stronger side.

He said: “I was emotional. I wanted France to get where they deserved to go. They deserved to win that game. They were a better team by an absolute country mile”.

He continued: “South Africa missed 43 tackles, they had to make 153, they lost on every stat across the board, but they had three snapshots from box-kicks not dealt with properly.

“They didn’t create anything, yet that is what South Africa do in World Cups.

Mike Tindall then revealed his true feelings about the reigning champions. He continued: “Going back to 2019, it would be a disgrace if South Africa won this World Cup.

Tindall also hinted that the ref was biased towards SA. He said: “I thought O’Keeffe wasn’t very good at that game.

“The irony is most Saffa fans always moan about the ref. A
