The star also reflected on his own mistakes and how his addiction affected him off-screen and ruined his acting career. The actor Innocent Masuku acted in the popular television drama series Yizo Yizo as the character of a high school drug addict Bobo. Masuku revealed at the recent EFF Youth Month campaign that he was involved in drugs when he got into the acting industry. He played the role of a drug addict and struggled with the same addiction behind the scenes.

“I regret it because I lost so many opportunities, you understand. I lost so many friends and good things and even if I regret it, I can never reverse time and be able to regain that time. It feels bad. Deep down, I still regret it even today. But I am one of the lucky few to have survived.”

The actor also played a drug addict Baksteen Lerole in SABC 1’s drama series Tshisa and admits that he fell into the trap of drugs, according to Drum Magazine. “The first few years when I tried to quit drugs with all my heart, I had so many problems and lost out on so many opportunities,” he says. “There are many things I could be counting and could have done. But you know what in life, there is always a second chance.”
