“Lucky enough I fell in love with acting at a very young age, so I knew who I wanted to be while growing up in the Eastern Cape. I started doing theatre at the age of seven but there were no resources in terms of television. I had to move to Joburg after matric to pursue acting.”
Sive has worked in numerous productions that include Isidingo, Isibaya, Ingoma, Judge Khambule, Isithembiso, Mzali Wam season two, Isibopho and Father’s Matter.
He said one of the biggest highlights of his career was when he started on television with Soul City.
Another highlight came in 2015 when he was doing industrial theatre, touring the whole of South Africa.
He spoke about challenges in the industry, which includes struggling to get funds at times as a producer.
And “as an actor. auditioning again and again and not getting roles, especially when they want models with a high number of followers on social media instead of looking for someone with talent”.-
