Former Rythm City and Generations actor Thabiso Mokhethi stepped away from the spotlight when he became a drug addict and struggled with depression. According to Zimoja, Mokhethi has opened up about his past struggles with drug addiction and how he was saved.
“I was once a drug addict and grace set me free from that. I was once lost in my own stresses until I was depressed, but the Lord set me free from that,” Mokhethi said.
Prayer changes things. When we pray we give God access to move on our behalf. There is great power in submitting to God in prayer. Have faith in the name of King Jesus Christ, Amen🙏🏾❗️Call on Him and He will be there for you like no one else can. pic.twitter.com/vphBC8msxl

Mokhethi added that he was a person who didn’t live a life of truth and honesty, but he was transformed into a nobleman by the grace of God. The Black Tax star also said that he knows what it’s like to try to use substances to heal, but those things tend to imprison us. Mokhethi has gone back to church and trusts that only God is enough for him.

Mokhethi admitted that his life began to unravel after burying his loved ones, as he was very close to his mother. “My mother and I were so close that we referred to each other as friends, and my brother was like a son to me because we had lost our father in 1999, so I was doing all the fatherly duties,” he said.
