Actor and writer Sayitsheni Mdakhi has slammed reports that claimed he is now a Bolt driver in order to make ends meet.

According to a report released by ZiMoja, the actor’s alleged close friend revealed to the publication that the actor was going through a rough patch, so he resorted to using his car for his new business venture.

However, the Isibaya actor responded to reports by taking to his Twitter timeline. Sayitsheni said the reports are false, adding that he has been busy with his new Movie, Mkhonto.

“Being a Bolt driver is not a bad thing. If they said I walk around naked in the streets screaming BOLT! Bekuzonyiwa! The only issue I have with this article is that it’s uninformed. I wish they said something about my latest Movie “MKHONTO” currently streaming on Showmax,” he wrote.

Many of his fans backed him up saying there is absolutely nothing wrong with being a Bolt driver and having multiple streams of income, especially given the state of the South African economy.

“There’s nothing wrong being a bolt driver,” wrote a fan.

“Multiple streams of income…a number of us are doing that to support our families….food delivery, selling at flea markets, e-hailing etc….big up chief!” wrote another fan.

Sayitsheni is known for his role as Saddam on the soapie Isibaya. He is also a writer and producer of the Showmax series Adulting.
