In his words, his career started in Isipingo Hills Primary School. His parents were looking for something to keep their hyperactive son busy. They then settled for ballet because that was what Khaya decided to do at six years old.
Khaya would find himself the only boy in the ballet classes, but this did not phase him. He did his thing and was unmistakably very good. This was seen when he was eight years old and had already gotten a gig to go and perform. His parents were also stunned because they never stayed behind for his performances.

Khaya Dladla in Uzalo
All fans of Uzalo have a personal liking for Gc, the character who causes the soapie to trend so much online.

So how did Khaya start acting on TV?
He was primarily an actor in theatre, and he loved the excitement that came with doing a new character and immersing himself in the shoes of different people. The Khaya TV role seemed less enthralling to him, and when he was asked to try out for Gc Uzalo, he was unsure if it would be a good fit.
However, on the stern recommendation of a director, he went for the audition and got the part. The twist was, he was only going to be on the show for the first three or so episodes and had very few lines.
When his time was meant to be done, the producers just couldn't let him go because of how good he was. They even gave the character a real name (originally Gc stood for Gay Character), but with the assimilation of Khaya into the main show, they gave his role a real name, Gamakhulu Cetshwayo.

It is sad however that he is said to be leaving Uzalo in its next season. This caused an outrage on social media because nobody wants to see Gc go. This upcoming season has seen several members of the Uzalo cast exit the show.
According to producer Pepsi Pokane, the actor has not left the show and is still part of the cast despite being sidelined a bit and being made a call actor. So for those asking is Gc leaving Uzalo? The answer is still unclear.
