“My wife was my best friend, my kids were my friends, we travelled together, did everything together. But when the money stopped coming in, it seemed the love started fizzling away. The respect lessened and the arguments increased — instead of growing together, my ex-wife and I were growing apart. So, all these things happened after leaving Generations.The 41-year-old explained that because he is an artist, he couldn’t find the inspiration to bring out his best and find another job. He ended up not working for some time and eventually started feeling alone and depressed. At some point he was desperate because nothing was coming his way.

“I was trying, trying, trying, and I started being angry with God for taking away those things. I was losing my faith in God. The biggest thing that made me lose faith was losing my marriage,” he said.MORE ABOUT THE FORMER SANGOMA/ACTOR
