Lidzhengu is currently studying at the Central Johannesburg College. He started studying there in 2019. And as of 2022 he is graduate in Mechanical engineering. However, for now Wavhudi is predominantly on the screens and less hands on the engineering side. But, it can act as a fall back plan if things go south.

Was he born 1999 or 2000?

His year of birth can be placed at 1999 or 2000 depending on how the authors wrote the article. When he was interviewed early this year, he revealed that he was 22 years old. Which knowing his month of birth would mean he was referring to his current age.

Rather than the age he was to attain later in the year. So, following that logic we placed his year of birth on 1999. And, others may arbitrarily choose 2000, using the converse of our logic. But the one we used is much more common. Either way Wavhudi is between the ages 22 and 23 for 2022.

Moreover, others were starting to spread rumours that Lidzhengu loved older women. Which he debunked in a short interview with one publication the Daily Sun. Furthermore, he also emphasized how utterly baseless those claims were. Stating that in real life he was from a Christian background. And that talking back to elders was something he had not known to do in real.

As strange as this may sound, this phenomenon occurs a lot among actors and actresses alike. Some even getting physically assaulted for being promiscuous. However, it’s not always the case. But, that’s part of the reason celebrities hide themselves from the public. People can’t just separate on-screen characters to real life people.
