‘I Want To Move,’ Skeem Saam’s Vusi Leremi On Living In Soweto Amid Protests! The proudly Sowetan actor is opening up about the evictions in Soweto that led to protests near Orlando and the closure of several roads in the area.
The actor moved to Orlando, Soweto several years ago to chase that “chilled kasi life”. He however told TshisaLIVE that his community has been turned upside down this week with protests.
“It is a nice area but after what has happened this week I want to move,” he said. Vusi added that he had heard gunshots on Thursday morning while preparing for work.
“People in my neighbourhood were kicked out and all their stuff being thrown on the streets. Right now there are protests. One about expired goods and the other over the illegal evictions. It is really rough. Half of the people were at work so they weren’t even there to see their stuff being thrown. These people are like family to me. It made me so angry.”
