The actor has put those rumours to bed with Daily Sun and has stated: “My phone is flooded with many phone calls from people asking me why I’m leaving Uzalo.”The actor also stated that he enjoys plays Sbu even though a lot of actors are leaving. ”As much as many lead actors are leaving, I still enjoy being part of Uzalo and showcasing my acting talent with them.

More time was given to them and as soon as their smooth exit is over, everything will be back to normal.”

She will be doing this in her own capacity without the help of anybody.

“As a South African black student, I pledge my support to stand with #witsprotest! In my own personal capacity, I will donate to bury the pedestrian that was brutally killed by our police. I can’t watch as our people drop like flies!

“I’m speaking to students on the ground, we are waiting to hear from the family once they have been informed , I’ll do my part. Images of him have been wildly circulated. This has deeply saddened me, police brutality is out of control! We need accountability here!

As a South African black student, I pledge my support to stand with #witsprotest ! In my own personal capacity I will donate to bury the pedestrian that was brutally killed by our police. I can’t watch as our people drop like flies! I’ll be going to wits to show my support
