Masilela also played for Supersport United and represented South Africa at under-23 level. Life’s cruelty reared its ugly head on the youngster in 2008, a few days after he celebrated his 20th birthday as his Peugeot 203 was involved in a horrific accident and consequently curtailed his Soccer career.

Masilela didn’t allow this misfortune to deter his determination to succeed as he managed to forge out a successful career as an actor. He’s best known for his role as Sifiso Ngema on eTV’s soapie Rhythm City.
