‘It’s not a bad thing’ Isibaya Actor Sayitsheni Mdakhi Responds to Reports of Being a Bolt Driver
Seasoned actor and producer Sayitsheni Mdakhi has responded to reports claiming he has joined the e-hailing service business as a Bolt driver. The rumors, which were shared online over the weekend, sparked a reaction from Mdakhi on his social media platforms.
Sayitsheni expressed his confusion regarding the negativity surrounding the idea of being a Bolt driver, stating, “Being a Bolt driver is not a bad thing. If they said I walk around naked in the streets screaming ‘BOLT’… The only issue I have with this article is that it’s uninformed. I wish they said something about my latest movie, Mkhonto, which is currently streaming on Showmax,” he tweeted.
