Sizwe is known for the talent that he displayed on Mzansi Magic's Greed and Desire. Established in the town of Bloemfontein, the telenovela explored the themes of ambition, wealth, power, secrets and desire.

“We wanted this more than anything. Actually, we wanted to be male models because growing up we always went for goals and dreams that would really excite and challenge us to work hard and keep getting better at our craft. Acting is and always was one of the goals that we set for ourselves to achieve,” said Lizwe.
“A friend told us about the opportunity, we auditioned the client told us they loved us and we got the job, it was really that simple,” said the pair.
