In December 2024, rumours circulated that he was homeless and living in an abandoned building.<\/p>\n<p>The actor later addressed and dismissed those claims, strongly pushing back against what he described as false and damaging reports about his living situation.<\/p>\n<p>Despite those past clarifications, the latest footage has once again left fans divided, torn between concern for a respected actor and frustration over the public scrutiny of what may simply be a private moment.<\/p>\n<p>As the clip continues to circulate, Dlamini has not yet commented on the renewed speculation surrounding his circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>See the video below:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"und\">Hawu Sechaba sewaba nje??<\/p>\n<p>Kubi <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/0itDA45Wze\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/0itDA45Wze<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Umnikazi Wenkani (@Boet_Themba) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Boet_Themba\/status\/2013931082253549569?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">January 21, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 4 -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Africa tv video display -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3579572842\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\">\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n#Luthuli #Dlamini #sparks #concern #roadside #video #leaves #fans #questioning #wellbeing<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; Actor Luthuli Dlamini Luthuli Dlamini has once again set social media abuzz after a video of the veteran actor&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":48061,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-48060","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mzansi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48060","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48060"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48060\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":48062,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48060\/revisions\/48062"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48061"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48060"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48060"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48060"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
