VATISWA NDARA: I WAS OFFERED LESS MONEY ON IGAZI SEASON TWO' The Home Affairs actress Vatiswa Ndara, who played Nomarasia in Igazi and Modiehi in Muvhango also tells David Mashabela that she was being paid less on Ferguson Films' Igazi.
I walked away with about R100 000 after Igazi season one. I was offered less money in season two. I got a close friend of mine to negotiate for me. Shona called me and I told him, I can't take less and he told me they cut their budget. Then, he told me he'll get back to me.
I got more scenes in season two. I got a call from someone from Mzansi Magic, who wanted to interview me about the second season. The head of PR told me the Fergusons are complaining about us.

People are staying in groups of four in hotels, these are adults that left their homes. Why are they being treated like this?
The actress adds that she got a call from Shona a few hours later, who told her he just got a call from the channel, who are saying she is complaining about how badly she's being treated and that his marriage to Connie irritates her.

HER EXIT FROM MUVHANGO' The news anchor and actress Vatiswa Ndara also reveals in the interview on King David podcast that she was let go from Muvhango because she was reportedly a diva, too hard to work with and that she spoke too much isiXhosa on the SABC2 soapie.
By the time they got rid of me I'd heard it all. How do we write her out? The channel wrote to my agent and said she speaks too much Xhosa .
She adds that she spoke to the owner of Muvhango's production only when she was leaving.
He said he's grateful for my contributions and would like to work with me in the future, even though he's firing me. He also used to tell anyone, who cared to listen that he didn't know me before I joined his show. But, I think that was to make me feel small.
