Tsepo Doncabe is a rising star who is popularly known for his role as Nkazimulo on the SABC1 soapie Uzalo. He is also a matric student who is doing his last year in high school. However, balancing his acting career and his studies has not been easy for him, as he reportedly faced some trouble with his school for missing classes to film other shows.
According to Isolezwe, the 17-year-old actor was kicked out of school after he missed four weeks of school to film Shaka Ilembe, a Mzansi Magic drama series where he plays the younger version of King Sohlangana. The producers of Shaka Ilembe had to intervene and explain the situation to the school, and they took him back.
However, this was not the first time that the actor’s school was unhappy with his acting commitments. It is believed that the actor was also told to quit acting as it interferes with his studies when he scored a role in Uzalo back in August 2022.
Doncabe, who loves acting and has been doing theatre from a young age, said that he was not going to give up on his passion, and that he was determined to finish his matric.
