Reacting to previous reports that The Queen has reached its demise, Ferguson Films said they are not going anywhere. This after Phil Mphela announced that the telenovela has been canned after 7 years of airing on Mzansi Magic.
Yesterday, Phil alleged that two actors from the Queen will no longer be a part of the production because they have either been laid off or they left at their own accord.
When he got dragged, he then dropped another bomb and claimed the telenovela has been canceled.
Phil announced that Brenda Ngxoli, Noma on the telenovela, left the production house over alleged salary disputes. Brenda refuted claims of her having salary issues with The Fergusons and called Phil out on a lie. She said Connie treats her well and said she has nothing but love for her.
“So now you are telling me What I did a month ago Mpela and yet mna I know nothing ngalento uyithethayo (about what you just said.) #HandsOffFergusonFilms…yiza nazo! (come with it) What else did I do that I have no idea of. Check your Sources. I love ❤ @Connie_Ferguson @FegusonFilms for the opportunity and love,” she said.
But, sticking to his guns Phil said Brenda is lying.
Vuyo Ngcukana who played Schumacher also joined the chat but this time he said the claims are not only untrue but are a direct attack on him and his family.
“That report was deliberate and malicious, please believe THAT, it is not the first time nor will it be the last, I hold myself to a very high standard with work and I have never compromised that, I appreciate the love since that post, please keep enjoying the work and God bless.”
He claimed Vuyo got fired because he allegedly faked being sick just so he can shoot another show.
“The actor was fired because he lied about being sick when he was actually shooting another show. I knew that info but kept it private and post “contractual obligation”. How did reporting casting news become a hit on someone’s family? Haibo!”
