AWARD-WINNING actor Pallance Dladla is celebrating 20 years in the entertainment industry.
In an Instagram post, he said he feels blessed to do what he loves and thanked his fans for loving him back.
He said the journey has not been easy as he’s cried and fallen but has always picked himself up.
In the post, he wrote: “Time to fall in love with this kid again. Thought I lost you. . . 20 years later still blessed to be doing what I’ve always loved.
“So many twists and turns. So many people came and disappeared. I’ve broken down and had to rise up. Joy and pain, burnt bridges and opened doors. Created opportunities and lost many.
“Yet God’s grace has granted me another day. The path of an artist has shown great purpose. Look deeply and honestly into your own. For there is no other. Find yours, cherish yours, Love yours, and declare yourself worthy.”
