"I loved Dali and the way my heart broke, and I was like, 'Couldn't they let him leave another way? But the scene at the hospital where he apologizes to Sphe and says he didn't mean it, I cried with him, like you could feel his pain and anguish at the mistake he made. Andile is such an amazing actor, I hope to see him in more stuff, all the best for the future. His character has definitely been the better part of generations for me."
