The skits master said the movie titled Formula for disaster will premiere on Facebook. With the help of his friends, they will lay bare the ill effects of substance abuse.
“Together with my fellow actors and friends, we’ve decided to make a movie that raises awareness of substance abuse. The short movie features comedienne Rejoice Dlamini and a group of actors who call themselves RMDA. It was shot at Emganwini.
“In this story, I act like an invalid who is into drugs and ends up suffering from kidney and lung problems and ultimately dies, leaving behind a wife and son. This then leads to the son being prone to peer pressure and ultimately ends up in the drug abuse route.
“In the end, he ends up a crazy man and all of these things take a toll on the surviving wife. It’s quite a sad story,” said Ankela Zex.
Ankela Zex who is widely known for his comic skits that he does whenever he commutes is a recipient of the 2022 National Arts Merit Awards for Best Comedian gong. The Pumula Old resident promised many visual works with his newly-found team of actors to keep entertaining the public.
