Lockdown actress Linda Sebezo recently shared that she was in a dark time in 2008. Police barged into her house and arrested her for dr*gs worth R5M.
Speaking on King David's Podcast, Linda said she remembers police officers searching her house and finding the substances she did not know of. Police found them in a room outside the South-African-born actress' Cleveland home.
Linda said she was locked behind bars on New Year's Day. The court denied her bail as she was labelled a flight risk. While everyone welcomed the new year with a bang, Linda told David she spent the first few months of 2008 in Sun City prison.
"While I was locked up, i didnt think too much of it. I thought I would be released the following day."

Fortunately, the awards-winning actress' name was cleared when the magistrate responsible for the case revealed that the dr*gs had been in the house for five years. Linda, at the time, had only lived in the house for two years.
The full interview gained a lot of attention from Mzansi peeps. Many lauded Linda for being open about her ups and down. Peeps shared the following comments:
