The thespian scooped his second South African Film and Television Award two years ago for his portrayal of Soshanguve rebel leader Moses in was destroyed in a home burglary in 2010. When he received his second, he was very emotional.

“It was confusing for me because, sure, they stole it, but it had my name on it. Why break it?” the actor told“When the old lady said that I wanted to say to her this is not like buying chips at the shop. You have to go through a process of giving your best and competing with the best in the industry.”

Thanks for restoring my happiness in my darkest days, during those period I was introduced to Mrs Deirdre Emerson by a good friend Deirdremerson which I invested R12 000. and to my greatest surprise I got a return. my profit just 4days time and today I recommend her

This is called Cultural genocide. Even the South African government promotes this one language over other African languages in the South African radio, TV, showbiz and music space. UNESCO & AfrDiasporaNews .

Ngani sikhona iSkeem Sami senu kuSABC 1 Mzansi FoSho... uKenneth Mashaba akayofesa khona....

I wonder why it’s Zulu and not Khoesan. Funny how that works hey?

The day that only the Zulus pay for their king then you can talk all the crap you want until then just say thank you for the handouts. You should be ashamed, stop taking state money and pay for it yourself.

akahambe ayofunda isizulu. nathi we have to learn Afrikaans for our professions.

*scrambled

F&ck that sh!t, and also can’t say I’ve ever had a job where I have to speak that language everything is English

And you wonder why the best people for the job leave the country. Racism and this obsession with Pro African will collapse SA

Inclusive new south Africa MY ass. Pure racism

WEEE MAME UZULU UNGUZULU NABANYE BAYILOKHU ABAYIKHO YENZANI NGEZILIMI ZENU NANI NIYEKE UKUSICEFEZELA LAPHA. KANTI YINI VELE INDABA NGALOMNOMZANE AKAVELE ABE NGUMZULU NJE FINISHI

Lol yol pulled out the Kenneth Mashaba picture

And every job in the industry requires one to speak English. But ke, it easier to cry tribal wolve.

As if there's anybody watching muvhango except those ones in a very irrelevant geographic location found withing the boundaries of SA.

Faaaaaark off

He must start his own production house and see if he won't be running after Zulu speaking talent.

The guy is a looser stru. If you are an entertainer you must learn all languages. Take Zolisa Xaluza. He is Xhosa but can speak most SA languages.

But I like scrambled eggs

Nahhhh, not really...you dont need it

arts and culture Dept,only look after Durban based production, that' promote Zulu language,he is right but any tv series outside KZN you get all language, including,Muvhango,Giyane

I love scrumbled eggs

If you can't speak Colonia English language you be prepared to starve. Kumelwe kungikhulungiswe nalokho

😂😂🤗 hambani niyozishayisa etsheni

This is crap,the king is getting and being paid with my tax, Zulu my foot

You guys are just looking for attention at this point, how long are u gonna keep recycling this article?😂

Lol at him🤣🤣🤣 makes sense this statement came out of that face

🤣😂Big tadpole in a tiny pond.

There we go again, Zulu this , Zulu that , chase them away from South Africa maybe that can solve your problem, if a person is useless and incompetent he blames it to the Zulu people.

I am rather fond of scrambled eggs.

Id say english is a more important one. Its universal

These minority must seat down a drink water they are not a segment in the market

Zulu today is a swear word.

Setswana se monate thata 🙌

Umalumewabantu We heard you the first time when you reported about it.

Cry baby 🙄

So this guy has no complaints about the use of English in the industry? It seems to these other tribes suffer from pull him down syndrome. Let’s dislodge the Zulus so we can take their place.

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭back to apartheid, which is black against black.....

Batshele.

Khuluma ndoda

Nyulu this Nyulu that, futsek. Speak your own foken language and leave us alone!

But scramble eggs are nice mos 🤷‍♂️😌

Can Elon Musk ban Times Live? Just posting article headlines to get people fighting in the comments

Denialists will deny.

I'll rather just leave SA

More Zulu arrogance. What's new? Same old same old.

ZULU DIZ ZULU DAT
