The actor recently revealed in an interview with Sun Buzz that playing Vutshilo has been difficult.

His character is a spoilt young man with no morals, respect, or boundaries.

Me, on the other side, I'm humble, respectful and I come from a Christian background.

I'd never talk back to my elders like he does and I don't date older women.

I had to defend myself to my family.

-- JOINING MUVHANGO' The young star adds that he got his big break on the popular soapie when he was just 16-years-old.

I auditioned for the show when I was in grade 12 and they loved my audition.

Before then, I had never done any acting.

I fell in love with acting after I read John Kani's books.

He adds that he was very excited when they told him he got the call for a second audition.

I started to attend some workshops and got some knowledge and got equipped.
