South Africans react to the actor's latest interview

"It's quite sad to hear what Sello and his family have been through. I pray for his deliverance from depression and full restoration."

@laurettataunyane9317 replied:

"Hm, I truly don’t understand why a parent would deliberately create a permanent wedge between children and their father. Unless unresolved issues from their own upbringing are influencing their actions, this behavior only harms the kids. No one is obligated to reconcile with an ex, but it's important to set the children free from adult conflicts. Preventing them from having a healthy relationship with both parents is not strength, it's selfishness. A stoney heart doesn’t show power; it often shows jealousy of your own kids to have what you probably never experienced, and pain left unhealed."

"This man can sing. Beautiful voice Uncle Sello. I went through his videos on TikTok, I noticed he tried very hard to deal with stress. I even learned sometimes we need to take charge and fight back. Do what you love and forget your problems; you defeated the enemy 'Satan'. You've won. Focus, enjoy and live your life we love you."
