Seasoned actor and producer Sayitsheni Mdakhi has responded to reports he is now a Bolt driver.
Reports claiming the star had joined the e-hailing services business were shared online over the weekend.
Taking to his socials, Sayitsheni questioned what was wrong with being a driver, and said the reports were "uninformed".
"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 streaming on Showmax," he tweeted.
Sayitsheni is popular for his role as Saddam on the soapie Isibaya. He is also a writer and producer of the Showmax series Adulting.
His fans backed him, saying driving a Bolt vehicle was honest work and, if true, there was nothing wrong with having multiple streams of income.
