During an extended, awkward monologue, the veteran actor reached a crescendo when he alluded to what many consider an open secret.

The lengthy passage of speech by Radebe climaxed when, in an apparent slip-up, he said:

“DJ Sbu, thank you very much. I believe he also has a podcast, am I correct? Thank you, Mzekezeke. I worked with you on Backstage and I never forget that. Thank you very much.”

It wasn't clear whether the actor meant to mention the fact, but the minor stumble made a big impression on Phenduka and others.

The comments under the post reflected the interest it had sparked after DJ Sbu previously denied being Mzekezeke.
