Former Generations actor Roderick Jaftha, known for his role as Glen Majozi, is facing serious financial difficulties and is reaching out for assistance from South Africans. The actor revealed that he is struggling to pay the R2500 monthly rent for his family’s home and is finding it hard to provide food for his wife and children.
In a heartfelt message, Jaftha expressed his desperation, stating, “I don’t even have food for my kids today, so I’m trying to run around.” His situation worsened after his wife lost her job, significantly impacting their family finances. With small children, including two still in school, the pressures have become overwhelming.
“I have been getting gigs, but nothing significant,” he explained, highlighting the challenges he faces in securing acting roles due to his limited language proficiency in Afrikaans and English. In an effort to rally support, Masingita Masunga shared Jaftha’s plight on Facebook, encouraging people to help him during this difficult time. Jaftha responded to her post, sharing his pain and emphasizing the impact of their struggles on their children.
Jaftha’s situation comes in the wake of actress Gcina Mkhize’s recent experience, where she received over R20,000 in donations after facing eviction. This illustrates a growing sense of community among South African artists, as they support one another in times of need.
As Roderick Jaftha seeks assistance, his story serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges many face in the entertainment industry. With the support of the community, there is hope for better days ahead for him and his family. Those who wish to help can consider reaching out to him through social media or other channels to offer their support.
