1. My biggest crush in the entertainment industry is Thapelo Mokoena. Not only is he hot but he’s responsible and level headed. His head is screwed on well.

2. I once lost a pair of shorts while swimming. It was a highly embarrassing experience because I only realised after I came out of the water and I was completely naked.

3. When I was off Uzalo momentarily, there were rumours that came out that I had been fired. The truth is, I had written the script for my character G.C. where he was engaged to be married to a man, but his father had arranged a wife for him. His father who is a homophobic, and a highly traditional Zulu man rejected him and G.C. had to sacrifice who he was to make him happy. People though I had been fired from the show, little did they know that I was going to make a big come-back. Needless to say, the story line was a hit.

5. I would love to work with Mandla Gaduka, who played the humorous role of Choppa on Generations. He’s such an underrated actor. I would also like to work with Warren Masemola and Thuso Mbedu.

6. I’m in a serious relationship at the moment. Having a bae has put me in a really happy frame of mind. I made a decision a while back that I won’t date an actor, singer or anyone in the entertainment industry so I’m not.
