Don’t expose your cluelessness.

Lunga getting a new gig so soon after people celebrated his departure from The River because they say “he can’t act” is big news

Fall back, before you catch a If you are too slow to recognise how big casting Lunga (who people say can’t act) as Siyabonga Twala (a prolific actor and Titan of the industry) ‘s son, you don’t deserve my content. Rolling on the floor laughing
