Coming to Pretoria was like a dream come true. Joining the agency granted him opportunities to show his talent, He got opportunities to be one of the roles on two TV drama series, namely, Isithembiso and Isidingo. Marcus said, “It was so scary going to Johannesburg because I didn’t know the place, I only knew Pretoria.”

During weekends, he would work with his uncle and that’s where he learned his paving skills. Currently, Marcus owns his paving company where he has two employees. He has paved one of TUT residences around Ga-Rankuwa next to Odi  Community Hospital. Marcus said he does not like asking money from his parents, he prefers being the one to provide for them. “I have bothered them from grade 1 until grade 12, it’s enough.”, said Marcus.

Journalism is like a backup plan, he only wants to acquire a qualification of something he likes., all he wants is being an actor. He said, “I take journalism and paving as my shoes, I can take them off anytime but with acting it is a different story, I will walk miles with those shoes and never take them off. Indulge your abilities, you might find a useful one like Marcus.”
