As the Economic Freedom Fighter remembered the Youth of June 16, 1976, Innocent gave counsel to young people. In a sincere message, he urged the young people not to emulate him and to lead better lives.

“ Be careful of the choices you make. It’s amazing how time flies. Sometimes, the choices you make can cost you many opportunities,” he said.

He added that he lost many good opportunities due to his drug addiction. “When I got into the acting industry, I was involved in drugs, and I regret it because I lost so many opportunities. I lost so many friends and good things and the sad part is that I won’t be able to regain that time,” he said.

The EFF member has called upon everyone to give each other a second chance and said that drug addicts must be willing to change in order to get off drugs. “Bafethu ayikho dustbin yokulahla abantu, let us come together, and help each other” he said.
