In an interview with MacG and Sol on Podcast and Chill, former child star and actor Innocent Masuku discusses his role as Bobo in Yizo Yizo, living on the streets as a drug addict, and the opportunities he lost in the entertainment industry.
Former Tshisa and Yizo Yizo actor always spoke openly about his drug addiction. How it negatively impacted his life and career, as well as his desire to overcome it permanently.
He stated that drugs had cost him so much money, claims spending over R500,000 on drugs. Also lost approximately R5 million in the industry due to his addiction.
Innocent stated that he regrets his decision to use drugs and that he missed out on numerous opportunities as a result.
“I regret it because I missed out on so many opportunities, as you can see. Even if I regret losing so many friends and good things, I can never turn back time and regain that time. It feels awful. Deep down, I still regret it even today. But I am one of the fortunate survivors.”
“When I tried to quit drugs with all my heart for the first few years, I had so many problems and missed out on so many opportunities,” he said. “There are numerous things I could have counted and accomplished. “In life, however, there is always a second chance.”
He cautions individuals about drug use and how to overcome them. “Be cautious about the decisions you make. Amazingly, time flies by. Occasionally, the decisions you make can cost you numerous opportunities.”
“You can enter rehab, but it won’t help if you’re not completely prepared. I am aware that change is difficult, but it begins with you. Took action, was a positive role model, and people looked up to me. I was a prominent role model, but I let people down and did things they did not anticipate. However, I chose to forgive myself.”
In addition, Innocent stated that drugs can keep you awake for days, and when you do sleep, you pass out for three days.
