“I’m blessed and highly favoured. What a joy it is to work with people who genuinely love what they do and still give their best, even when the days are long and the circumstances are tough.👏🏾
My hat goes off to the unseen heroes:
the drivers up before sunrise and home long after wrap,
the catering team keeping us fed and hydrated,
cleaners, makeup, wardrobe, sound, camera, script, production…every department that builds the world before we ever step into frame.✨
To my co-stars…thank you for the generosity, the play, the trust. What a privilege to tell stories with you, not just alongside you.
Over 4.5 million people this past week. I for one, don’t take that lightly. Thank you to the audience for welcoming these stories into your homes.
What a privilege it is to be an actor in South Africa.
And what a wonderful privilege it will be to be an actor in a regulated industry in South Africa,” he said in gratitude.
