Four months after it was revealed that he was destitute and facing financial ruin, former Generations actor Carlo Radebe has revealed that he is down and out again after employment opportunities that he sought did not work out.
In April, a close friend of the former Generations star, Mauritz Neethling, took to his Facebook timeline recently to plead with Mzansi to help Radebe.
Neethling revealed that ever since COVID-19 had affected the arts industry, the veteran actor had lost his livelihood and even been evicted from his former residence. He said the actor was now staying in a remote smallholding outside Johannesburg.
In a recent Facebook post, Radebe revealed that he was struggling once again to maintain his upkeep.
“Happy Monday to you all. Spring is in the air. Letting you know as my fans that I am still holding onto my game with dogged determination, waiting for the dam to burst and for work to start rolling my way before the year is over.
“Been nearly three years without work. Nothing lasts forever. The winter of my discontent is surely at its end with promise of work as the year comes to its end,” he said.
“Kindly putting my hand on your heart to boost me one more time with any donation to my account for me to survive my 11th hour at the gate. [I] Have run out of your kind donations I received in April for only four days.
“Funds I had been receiving were stopped after being promised a job that was never confirmed with me or my agent and an offer for a place to live. All this hype was never confirmed and had me tossed to the wind with no apology or follow-up.”
The actor revealed that jobs he had been promised before South Africa’s recent elections had not come to fruition.
“I have been stranded, left broke since beginning of June to fend for myself while I wait for work that was due to shoot before the elections.
“Inthliziyo yami ibuhlungu kabi ngoku hlukumezwa nge themba elingekho namanga alihlaza. Basuthi labantu labakhona bafike badlale nge mpilo yami ngathi ngiyi popayi. Ngicela uncendo Mzansi ukuthi umsembenzi ungifice ngi phakeme nginendawo yokuhlala ngiphephile.
“Kuzophela lobuhlungu with your love ukuthi ngibambezele. Hoping my plea finds you alive and well and looking forward to having me back on your screens. I wish you nothing but the best that life gives back,” he said.
