HOOK-UP

Ooh-la-la. Sisanda Henna's been busy with more than his starring roles on crime thriller Devil's Peak and his takeover role as Sizwe on Entangled 2. He's in a relationship with director Keitumetse Qhali, who directed on the upcoming Season 4 of Blood & Water. See comments for proof. >>

Spotted at the launch of M-Net's Devil's Peak:

Turns out they met twice. First in a Zoom call where Keitumetse pitched to direct on a project that Sisanda was producing and then on dating app Bumble.

They dish the dirty:

Keitumetse: "A couple of days after our meeting, I saw he'd liked me (on Bumble) and I thought it was a catfish *laughs*.

And then we started chatting and we've been dating for three years this month.

It's been crazy, I was shooting Blood & Water at the beginning of this year and he was in Cape Town in the second half of last year shooting, so we're very happy that we understand each other's careers."

Sisanda: "We do try, we make an effort - like now."

Keitumetse: "We make a big effort. It used to be a huge issue in our relationship because he's very technical and scheduled and everything's in order, and I'm very floaty, I go with the wind, and the thing that's helped us is having a schedule. That's the only way we actually spend time together. "

Sisanda: "Yes, if she gets something first - like she directed the latest season of Blood & Water on Netflix - so when she gets that, she'll tell me the dates or I'll see them on her calendar and then I have to book some stuff around going to see her."

Keitumetse: "I'll say no-one will take me seriously if they see you here and then he's like I must come to his set but I don't like to. I do directing, I don't want to be on somebody else's set.

I'm so proud of him. He read the book (Devil's Peak) when he was auditioning and he wanted the character.

He really, really wanted this character so when he got the role it meant a lot to him. I really think him and Thobela are just like one.

Even before they said they were going to make the show, he read the book and said he wants to play that guy."
