Born in Kwa-Mashu, north of Durban, in June, 1960, where he attended local schools and began his career as actor in 1976, appearing in school productions. In 1981 he moved to Umlazi Township, where he continued appearing in the odd play, before securing a short-lived job with Hyper-Marina in 1982, making boats and working as a moulder. Having lost the job in 1983, he then met Mbongeni Ngema who - on hearing of his aspirations as actor - invited him to join the Committed Artists company.
