Just to be clear
On this very platform, on record.
Brenda did not stop coming to work
Vuyo was not let go because of Entanglement.
If you put that on record right now, I will gladly correct it.
We also have to address that since January 2020 thing.

LESEDI MATSUNYANE-FERGUSON: THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2020' Fans of The Queen also wondered what the actress was referring to when she tweeted:
This has been going on since 2020.
The show was thrown under fire in 2020 when it reportedly fired and lost several fan-favourite actors such as Rami Chuene, SK Khoza, Dineo Langa, and Setumo Motsoeledi.
Creators of the show Connie and Shona Ferguson also explained why they removed actors from the show.
The telenovela reportedly axed actors Dineo Langa, Setumo Motsoaledi and Rami Chuene.
DINEO LANGA
The Estate actress Dineo Langa reportedly got fired by Ferguson Films in May 2020. The actress revealed on Instagram that she got fired and that her character was killed.
Ferguson Films confirmed her departure in a statement and said she was axed in season five because of the influx of new characters joining the show.'
Langa played the role of Kea Khoza for four seasons.

There's no respect in your work.
This has been ongoing since Jan 2020 and there's nothing you can say to defend or justify your actions. You say it's not personal but the damage you continue to do says otherwise. No ways dude.

RAMI CHUENE
Giyani: Land of Blood actress Rami Chuene's character Gracious Mabuza announced her departure from the show and left fans devastated.

Let me get this right because your ego got hurt, you decide that tarnishing another actor AND the production company's reputation is the way to go? You of all people should know not to believe everything you're told, yet you spread it anyway. A teaspoon of dithlong, Kgopolo. https://t.co/3hBSLlahSA
