Connie Ferguson Controversy
iGazi actress who played the role of Nomarashya wrote an open letter to the Minister of Arts, Nathi Mthethwa about the treatment of South African actors. Ferguson Films produced the Mzansi Magic series.She claimed ‘poor remuneration, unfair contractual agreement, unfair treatment by producers, and made claims about bullying and intimidation in the industry’.
Ferguson Films (Shona Ferguson and Connie Ferguson) released a statement saying “As actors ourselves and producers we are aware of the challenges facing the entertainment industry. We support 100% a need for the industry to be regulated and for Performance Protection Amendment Bill to be signed sooner rather than later. With that said, the allegations made by various actors do not reflect the true position of the industry and paints a false picture, that may mislead the public.
“We attempted to negotiate with the actress and her agent in good faith and within the scope of applicable production agreement, however the agent subsequently recused himself from negotiations, thereafter we dealt with her manager. They made it very clear that Ms. Ndara would not accept anything less than R700 000 for the 5 week shoot. She absolutely had every right to decline our offer, which she did, and we on the other hand as we could not meet her financial demand, due to contractual restraints, had every right to move on amicably, which we tried to do. Just like actors the production company is not guaranteed work, whether the show is performing or not. We do not own the shows we produce under commission, and therefore have no right or say in what happens with the shows post final delivery to the broadcaster.”
This shed a poor light on Fergsuon films. However they were able to salvage the situation before it got out of hand.
