No doubt, she has been nailing her on-screen character with unmatched flair and has fast become the show’s face. Despite the rumour of her axing flooding social media, the showrunners are yet to offer an official statement regarding her future on the drama series.
Of interest is that she joined the show as a replacement for the old KaMadonsela. Revelations have it that the new management that was brought in is rude. However, close sources to the sho have it that it was bound to happen.
The working conditions and environment are toxic and have led to the mass exodus of several lead actors. Under the management, the show has lost more than six actors due to fallouts from Fundiswa Zwane to Nkanyiso Mchunu.
“The new management brought with them very rude and unprofessional crew members who are treating actors and other people like crap. Many people have been on depression pills since the new management took over. The work environment is no longer enjoyable, and people are scared to talk because they do not want to be fired as the new management does not like to be challenged.”
In the wake of the daring incident E.tv spokesperson Bennum van Jaarsveld downplayed the incident.
