“We’re giving out a shout out to  Sdumo from The Polygamist. The entire cast because it was incredible. You guys were amazing. You guys are amazing. We love Jonasi,” she said.

Thankful for the recognition and love, Sdumo shared the clip on his social media, expressing his appreciation for the kind words from his fellow actors.

“A pleasant suprise getting this shout out from my friend, my sister @tasha4realsmith and @tarajiphenson, God bless you.

It was an honour for me to bring the character #Jonasi to life through @netflixsa ’s #ThePolygamist because this was a book-to-screen project that continues to spark conversations, and make a global impact,” he said.

In The Polygamist, Sdumo portrays Jonasi Gomora, a wealthy, manipulative fictional CEO and businessman. Jonasi is a powerful, self-made banking tycoon based in Johannesburg. While he is charming and rich, he uses his financial power to control, deceive, and manipulate the people around him.

Sdumo’s portrayal of the complicated character has made Jonasi one of the memorable figures in the series, which has continued to spark conversations among viewers.

The shout-out comes as Tyler Perry’s Why Did I Get Married Again? continues to attract attention following its premiere on Netflix on September 9, 2026.

For Sdumo, the recognition from an international cast is another special moment in his career and a reminder of the impact of The Polygamist and its characters beyond South African screens.
