Actor Sdumo Mtshali, who has been playing the beloved character of Sbusiso on the drama since the beginning, took to his Instagram to thank the production and veteran actor Bheki Mkhwane, who played his father for eight seasons.
“Eight seasons playing father and son! Eight seasons constantly teaching our audience about the importance of family, culture and black love! One of my grateful career moves of all time. Thank you Bheki Mkhwane,” he said before expressing his gratitude to all stakeholders.
Actor and writer Chris Q Radebe posted on Instagram to thank his cast and crew mates for the amazing experiences. Chris has penned several heart warming posts individually praising his colleagues and thanking them for their contribution to the production and to his life personally.
