RENOWNED Durban-based DJ Tira is set to show off his acting skills.
The 47-year-old artist will be making an appearance on the e.tv's Smoke & Mirrors from Tuesday, 10 October, showing his acting talent at Ebumnyameni.
The DJ said he can't wait to shake things up on the popular soapie.
Speaking to Daily Sun, he said he will not only laugh on the show, but he'll also talk.
"I'm happy that my brand is well positioned in such a way that many soapies love to work with me. It will not be my first time appearing on a soapie or a drama. I've been appearing in many soapies and dramas since the popular sitcom of the late Bongo, Family Bonds," he said.

The Sikilidi hitmaker said he's considering taking acting as his second career after music because many people love to see him on TV.
"Acting is the one that I will want to explore looking at the warm welcome I get from the viewers each time I appear on TV.
"Appearing on soapies helps my brand to continue to grow as I want it to always grow," he said.
Smoke & Mirrors marketing and communication specialist, Thapelo Ramatsui, said when people say "Tshiki Tshiki Tsaa", what comes to mind?
"Yep, Durban's finest. The one and only DJ will be landing on our TV screen. The legendary Afrotainment boss will make a cameo appearance as himself on the show.
"The story written around him involves Dudu's shenanigans with Magolide. After stealing Mamiki's boyfriend, she has now also taken her business idea. And to rub salt into her wounds, she decides to host a launch party for her production with the DJ hired on the ones and twos being the one and only DJ Tira," Thapelo said.
Fans can catch DJ Tira's guest appearance on Smoke & Mirrors from 10 October at 9pm.
