He barely follows a brief and goes for the roles he wants. Makhubalo shared a story where his agent and the recruiter tried to demotivate him by highlighting his tattoos for the role of a lawyer.

He nailed his audition, making it hard for the casting director to turn him down and instead created a storyline that would complement his tattoos and aura. Makhubalo impersonated the recruiter and spoke in an Afrikaans accent, which made MacG and the rest of Mzansi.

The entertainer also did not just stick to acting but also ventured into music. His hot bangers kept South Africans on their feet in the 2010s. A lot of his releases contributed largely to the music industry.

A snippet of the podcast episode went viral on TikTok, and people could not help but see the striking resemblance between him and Minnie Dlamini.
