DURBAN Gen actor Nyaniso Ndzedze has opened up about his role as Dr Dhlomo.
He played the role of an abusive husband who ended up in jail.
But on Friday, 30 September, his wife Sne, played by Nombulelo Mhlongo, put an end to it and killed Dr Dhlomo.
For Nyaniso, this was more than just acting. It was his real-life experience.

He has since released a video clip detailing his journey as Dr Dhlomo and said: "As we were heading towards the end, it became really tough for me because the story is very close to home. I didn't realise it at first. It became more and more apparent when I read the scene and I realised that this was pretty much a reflection of what my mother went through with my dad. And my dad was the Dr Dhlomo of my mum's life. That was the tough part for me."

"I remember calling my agent towards the end and crying. I wanted to quit because it was so difficult for me to face that part of my hurt. Parts of my own story that I hadn't even really told to myself. It's what many artists refer to in art as the opportunity for catharsis, where art starts to reflect your own experiences. That was a big challenge for me.
"It's been an incredible journey with an amazing cast. Thank you to everyone who has been part of it."
