Innocence Masuku, a former singer and actor, earned 10,000 Twitter followers in only one day after spending months attempting to win back the hearts of Mzanzi.
Masuku is making progress after a long and troubled history of drug misuse that caused him to lose everything.
His on-screen identity turned out to be his real life experience. He is well known for his beloved character “Bobo” on “Yizo Yizo,” where he portrayed a high school drug addict.
Masuku, who was visibly moved, shared a video of himself thanking his Twitter followers.
“Mzanzi!” he exclaimed. I appreciate all of your kindness and encouragement. Within a day, my account attracted 10,000 new followers.
“I truly am at a loss for words. I’m dumbfounded since I didn’t anticipate this kind of support, but generally I want to thank you and express my appreciation for your kindness. #YizoYizo, Ngiyan’Ncanywa.
“Thank you for following me, this is ridiculous, the numbers are crazy. I just started a Twitter account,” the actor stated in the video. “Keep following, and I’ll keep posting,” I promised.
The actor, who was born in Soweto, spoke openly about his history with drug misuse in a number of interviews in an effort to inspire young people and repair his image.
His tale was recently shared on “Podcast & Chill with MacG.”
Tweeps praised his Twitter account.
“Welcome back, Bobo,” tweeted @Bee Motshabi. We’ll soon have you back on our screens! To modimo ke o
Best of luck in anything you do, as @sewelankoana wrote: “Great to have you here with us and it’s so fantastic to have you back, healthy and motivated.”
“@iDiskiTimes rescued Junior Khanye’s career, and @podcastwithmacg will unquestionably resurrect Bobo’s career,” commented @KurhulaScara. I like seeing South African brothers helping one another out, and I want to see many more brothers getting help as well.
Your family needs you more than ever, and there should be enough to catch up with them, said @Lekota Terror in a message to the males in the group: “Happy 4 u men. It was never easy for u I assume. Please remain on that lane and never b tempted to go back. Stop mingling with the bad people again.
Never let yourself or them down again. Much support, dude.
Masuku explained how he would go without sleep for a maximum of three days while under the influence of cocaine and then stop for two days to recuperate in an interview with MacG and Sol on September 6.
“A drug demands that you use it every minute; you feel as if you may smoke the substance at any moment, and narcotics like cocaine allow you to continue for days without sleeping.
The body will shut down and relax for two days after going without sleep for three days.
