Speaking to Daily Sun, he shared how grateful he was for the role of Ntsika. "This is because the role came at a time when I needed it the most. A production I had been a part of for seven years had just come to an end. Honestly, it was God’s timing and I couldn’t be happier. I was at the lowest point in my life as I was uncertain of what I’d do next. I was quite comfortable where I was but it was a wake-up call. It has allowed me to spread my wings and open my eyes wider,”
