Such things need new faces, that is why I don’t enjoy this Shaka lembe thing, We know these people and associate them with characters they played on other shows.

He is a good actor and all and I have nothing against him. But the guy who plays Tsikitsiki ko adulting would play him better for me personally cos of the gangster look and all. I said personally ????????
