Since arriving in the Garden Route, the actor has been giving free workshops to children to "give back".

Reynecke has acted in the following television productions: Binnelanders, 7de Laan, Crimes Uncovered, Donkerland, Generations, Gomora, Rhythm City, Hartklop and The Mating Game.

His next appearance on TV will be in Binnelanders on 28 February.

He is currently part of a kykNET production being filmed.

There were two workshops at the weekend: one for children and the other for teens and adults combined.

One of the attendees said after her workshop: "I liked it because Dewald tells the truth. He does not sugar coat things. He gives you something to work on."

Several parents were present and enjoyed seeing their children in action.

Reynecke also gives one-to-one coaching to those who are serious about improving their acting skills.
