Recent pictures of actor, comedian and singer Siyabonga Radebe, better known as SiyaB were widely shared on social media platforms.

These pictures, accompanied by a mini clip, left mzansi wondering what happened to the great SiyaB, as he looked different. The difference in his looks and style sent the internet into a frenzy, leading many internet users to believe that he is poor and possibly mentally unstable.

While some thought the unusual look may be prompted by a lack of bookings for work, as it has been a while since he appeared on screens. SiyaB is popular for the characters he played on Intersextions, Uzalo, Generations, A Place Called Home and Home Affairs.

An X (formerly Twitter) user took to their page to break the news.

“Actor Siyabonga Radebe reportedly broke and facing mental illness someone please share his account number,” read the caption.

Media personality, Sizwe Dhlomo, joined the chat and posed a question: ” Who says he’s struggling? Umjita uy’bhlomele (he’s just chilling?).”

X users weighed in:

Another user shared a video of SiyaB sitting with his friends in their township. The thespian is having fun with his friends, his hair looks unkept and his clothes look stained, and he has a cigarette in his hand.
