Former Skeem Saam actor Thabo Masoga, who recently made headlines when he shared that he's a security guard, is pleading for donations.

Masoga, who is famously known for portraying the character of Ananias alongside Thabo Mkhabela in the SABC1 soapie, says he needs money for an eye surgery.

The actor-turned-security guard revealed to Sunday World this week that he was diagnosed with a cataract in his left eye.

Masoga adds that he will accept help from anyone who can assist him with the surgical procedure. The former actor and scriptwriter also pleads for a surgeon who can perform the eye operation for R15 000.

Brenda Ngxoli receives financial assistance

Former The Queen actress Brenda Ngxoli made headlines in January when she received money from her fans on social media.

MDN News reported on X that award-winning actress fans came through for her in her time of need.

The fan-favourite actress left South Africans in tears when she opened up about the physical and emotional abuse she had endured from her mother after hitting rock bottom.
