HE is tough as nails on Isibaya. But there is another side television viewers don’t know about actor, Jeffrey Sekele (44), who is better known as Blade. He is also a family man.

A FAMILY MAN

Jeffrey, who has been married traditionally for years with his wife, is a father to a 10-year-old boy and a five-year-old girl.

“Being a family man is hard work because it is not always about me. With everything that I do, I consider them first,” he says, adding that his family is the reason he wakes up everyday.

“I make it a point that I strike a balance between family time and my work. One thing that I have learned with fatherhood is just to be observant,” he says.
