RAY NEO BUSO AS ZAKHELE Flamboyant actor Ray Neo Buso has joined the cast of 7de Laan as Aggie Meintjies' nephew Zakhele Zee Guliweyo a month after the role of Shawn Basson got killed.
--
Buso got into the show through the annual 7de Laan cast internship program which is in its fourth year.
The actor tells Drum Magazine in an interview that he was thrilled and excited to get the role.
The positive attitude I went into the audition with gave me a positive outcome, as an openly gay man like my character, I am ready for criticism.
He also tells the publication that he grew up in pageants and he's used to criticism and ready for it.
--
I grew up dancing where your teacher will criticise your dancing and they take it as grooming.
I joined my first agency in primary school and hearing no' often groomed me to handle the criticism.
Everything in entertainment is put out for people to enjoy and criticise and you have to take what you get.

Ray Buso as Zakhele in 7de Laan'. Image via Instagram story @_rayneo GAY STORYLINES IN 7DE LAAN' 7de Laan received backlash when they showed their very first gay kiss between Shawn (De nr Reiners) and Emile (Christopher van der Westhuizen) in 2017.
Shawn Basson was DeWet Basson's (Dirk Stolz) gay son who pretended to be straight for years and was married to Lana Basson (Mila Guy0.
He and DeWet had a challenging relationship as DeWet couldn't accept him for who he is.
Zakhele got attacked two weeks by strangers and was hospitalised at Hillside Clinic when he arrived in 7de Laan.
It appears that the show is tackling bias-related violence against homosexuals through Buso's character.
The younger Visagie Uys Visagie who is son to Tanya and Werner and grandson to Augusta seems to be behind his attack.
Uys Visagie is played by Daniel Coetzee who also got into the show through the annual 7de Laan cast internship programme.
