Many fans may be surprised to know that Abdul Khoza got his start on television long before the days of Isibaya. According to TVSA, the super talented actor got his start in the acting biz back in 2011 when he won the second season of the SABC 1 acting competition Class Act.

After winning the show, Abdul left his job as a fireman and has since appeared in a few major drama series such as Durban Gen, Intersexions, Kings of Joburg and more famously Isibaya and The Wife.

A family member who was bitten by the thespian bug is Abdul's big brother SK Khoza who is famously known for his role as Shaka on the Ferguson Films production The Queen. Sthembiso, better known as SK is only older than Abdul by a year but the younger Khoza still looks up to him in many ways.

Both Khoza brothers hold black belts in karate and are well known for their stellar portrayal of trigger happy chaps on their respective telenovelas.

SK Khoza's days of playing a similar role to his baby brother were cut short when TimesLIVE reported that the actor was let go from his role as Shaka after claims of domestic abuse became known to the public.

The Khoza women seem to prefer to take a back seat from the public eye. The mother of the famous men is said to be a woman named Lindiwe Khoza. The leading lady of the Khoza crew is said to be her boys biggest cheerleader.
