I got mugged a couple of times until I decided to buy a car because, for my entire life, I preferred walking. The first time I was walking from somewhere in the Joburg CBD to get a taxi at Bree, it was around 8 or past 9pm and before I even got to the taxi rank, I didn't have my wallet, phone, cash, and it wasn't even violent kind of a thing.
The guy was just walking behind me and all of a sudden he started asking for my belongings. It was like he was having a normal conversation. He said he is the Joburg king and this is what we do in Joburg. it's either you give me these things or I'll take them myself.' I didn't have the energy to fight. I gave them to him.
The second time was during the day and I had my earphones on listening to music. The phone was in my front pocket, and as I was walking across this lot of people. In my mind I was confident that there was no way someone would snatch my phone without me noticing because it is at the front, unfortunately, I bumped into this other guy the same way Koloi did with the dustbin man and after I crossed the street, I didn't have my phone anymore.
The third time was around 6pm. We wrapped up very late at work and now I had to go back home. I knew that day that there was a high possibility of me getting mugged because it happened before. I had everything in my backpack but someone confronted me, pointed at me with a sharp object and demanded to search my pockets.

BIGGEST CHALLENGE IN PLAYING KOLOI IN SKEEM SAAM' The actor Tshepo Senatle, who gives a stellar performance as Koloi in the SABC1 soapie Skeem Saam also tells Drum Magazine that he is very much aware of the whirlwind Koloi cause on social media.
I am honestly overwhelmed by the reactions. I don't know what to say because it is such a humbling gesture. I am so happy that people are receiving Koloi well and that they find how I play him interesting and relatable.

My biggest challenge was when Koloi lost his mother and as an actor I still have my parents. I did not know how it feels to lose someone who gave birth to you, let alone how to react to it. It was so difficult so much that I had to attend funerals of my close friends and relatives to see while mourning with them, so that I am able to deliver that storyline. It was scary.
