Masebenza was dubbed as the next big thing to ever happen on to South African small screen. But it seems like his career quickly fizzled out.
He started his journey on eTV's 'Scandal', then progressed to a bigger gig in 'James’ Journey to Jerusalem' as Skomboze. Against the backdrop of his newfound fame, he made guest appearances in 'Generations' and 'Zero Tolerance'.
However, in 2015, headlines that he was mentally unstable and now living on the streets emerged.
Have a look as these headlines from social media:

It's so sad to see Hugh Masebenza in that situation.
Let's hope someone will come through and help him out of that predicament asap. pic.twitter.com/D5flHEIO0n
