He said that it was a massive blow for him:

"It's bad, really bad, and now I have all the time in the world. When I bump into people on the streets, they stop me to ask: 'When are you coming back? We want you, we miss you.' I know people miss me, and I miss being on TV too. Acting is my life, and I wonder what more I need to do to show producers that people want me back."

The former Diep City star further mentioned that he has been surviving on side hustle projects to feed his family.

He said:

"Nowadays I get projects as a side hustle just to survive because I'm a father and I need to put food on the table. Sometimes people tell me all this is happening because of the tribe I'm from. If I was Sotho, Zulu or Afrikaner, it would've been better. It hurts what's happening to me, but those are people's views."
