@Zeenclaire14: “I love him. I love this for him. I hope he shares a scene with his “Sindowzaa”.
@BoitumeloThom12: “Ahh I’m so happy for him.. Love him.”
@GaoNolwazi: “This is what Ntate Jerry Mofokeng was talking about. Just because his TikTok is funny doesn’t mean he can act.”
@Brother_Drum: “I feel for the struggling student, who through blood and sweat is perfecting his/her craft. Why do art schools exist when producers opt for talentless influencers time and time again? This is why SA’s entertainment industry is mid. No one is looking for talent. Just numbers.”
