In Pictures: Where did Rhythm City actor David Genaro ‘Jamie Bartlett’ disappear to?

He has been dupped as the greatest villain of all time. His on-screen war with Mzansi’s finest Suffocate Ndlovu probably goes down in the history books of soapie drama as one of the bloody and deadly.

Genaro is hosting a show by the name Hard Topics with Jamie Barlett. Speaking to the media, the director of Hillbrow Tv, Hams Hanana, had this to say:

“We decided to have Jamie on the show because of his realness and the fact that he likes the truth. So, we, as a media platform, always bring real and raw issues affecting people, especially black people and we feel he knows our struggle and pain.

The producers have faith in Genaro and think he has been through it all and knows better about topical issues of concern and how we can tackle them. He went on to say that,

He’s a person who always asks the relevant questions. Questions, that get people to always think further. Plus, he grew up around the hood. We are more than happy to have him on our platform. We know we’re going to move mountains.”

The actor was born in 1966 on the 9th of July. He is best known for his role as the wicked puppet master, David Genaro, on Rhythm City. James Bartlett played the character of David Genaro on Rhythm City, and he was the untouched villain on the show until his journey with Rhythm City finally came to an end a few months ago.
