A widely shared video of legendary actor Luthuli Dlamini walking from the local shops has caused a stir on social media.
In the video clip, fans seated in a car greeted the thespian. He greeted back and appreciated the recognition. In his hand, Luthuli had a plastic bag from Shoprite and was eating a packet of Lay’s chips. The individuals in the car then ask him to come over to them, and offered him an alcoholic beverage which he accepted and continued to walk.
Internet users shared different opinions about the video clip, with some sharing their concerns about Luthuli. Last year, the actor had to set the record straight on social media after online reports alleged that he was homeless.
Debunking the claims, he said: “I just wanted to dispel all of those concerns about me being homeless. I am not homeless at all. I am living in a beautiful place in Durban, lots of sunshine,” he said.
He looks clean and just a regular dude . Why is he being recorded ????

I just can’t get used to this era of making content out of people. So invasive. I hate it. https://t.co/iPDMknkd04
