Thabiso Mokhethi is once again at the centre of a social media discussion, as fans react to a new video that throws his alleged financial struggles and donation pleas into question.
The former Generations actor, who played the role of Samuel Khumalo in the soapie's original cast, is said to be facing financial hardship and pleading for donations from kind Samaritans.
This comes after a flyer posted by Twitter (X) user Patriot_S_A on Tuesday, 25 November 2025, raised concerns about Mokhethi's situation, suggesting that the actor had fallen on hard times and was pleading for financial assistance.
"Former Generations actor Thabiso Mokhethi, once a household name and millionaire, is reportedly living in impoverished conditions, struggling to survive," read the flyer.
However, a recent video of the actor looking dapper at an event contradicted earlier claims about his financial struggles.
Taking the phrase "don't look like your problems" to a new level, the actor was invited to present an award at the 18th Crown Gospel Awards in Durban, where he wore a stylish beige ensemble featuring a trench coat draped over his shoulders.
He shared the video on his Instagram page on 25 November, accompanied by captions praising God's mercy and grace, suggesting a reliance on faith amidst his personal challenges.

Both posts surfaced after Mokhethi's interview on Engineer Your Life, where he discussed his financial struggles and often having nothing to eat.
He stated that moving from being a provider to relying on others for help was an extremely difficult and humbling experience.
“Coming from a position where I could provide for my family, to suddenly relying on others was a bitter pill to swallow. I know this is a reality for many people, but this is my story."
Mokhethi has also opened up about his failed marriage and battle with drug abuse.
Briefly News reached out to Thabiso for comment. This is a developing story.
