Former DiepCity actor hits hard times

While Nompumelelo Vilakazi seems to be thriving, not all former DiepCity cast members have had it easy since the show ended. Briefly News previously reported that Obed Baloyi, who portrayed Ringo on the Mzansi Magic series, was finding it hard to land a gig after the show was canned.

The veteran actor revealed that he had resorted to side hustles to make ends meet. The actor also described how people’s comments weren’t making his situation any easier.

Baloyi is not the only actor who has had to switch careers to earn a living. Previously, Briefly News reported how Ronnie Nyakale became a trending topic after Mzansi discovered that he is now a Bolt driver.

Nyakale became a household name after appearing on the small screen as Papa Action in Yizo Yizo and Cosmo on the long-standing Generations: The Legacy. The actor clapped back at the haters who took shots at his new gig by sharing a short video on TikTok.
