“Generations” Actor Carlo Radebe Living in Homelessness

Local actor Carlo Radebe has reportedly fallen on extremely hard times.

Radebe is known for his appearances in TV shows such as “Generations”, “7de Laan” and “Backstage”. He also appeared in movies including “Amandla”, “Cuckold” and “How to Steal 2 Million”.

Earlier this week, a Facebook user named Mauritz Neethling – who claims to be a friend of Radebe – published a post appealing for financial aid on the 51-year-old actor’s behalf.

“As for many of us, COVID-19 was a really difficult time, especially for those working in the arts and film and television industry,” Neethling wrote alongside a photo of a dishevelled Radebe. “Unfortunately for Carlo, he has not been able to get back on his feet and finds himself in a situation where he is struggling to sustain himself.”

Radebe is currently homeless and living off a monthly government grant worth only R350.

“This is no way to afford him the means to get himself out there and back on casting agents’ radars and to let him send video audition clips, let alone to feed himself or even take phone calls or have data to send or receive emails. I ask … that you find it in your heart to help in whatever way or form you can.”
