The actors also revealed that that the SABC still had not updated policies to account for revenue drawn from other income streams on various broadcasting platforms or devices.
Kgomotso Christopher has taken a comedic approach to deny ever being offered a role on the show. The actress first shared a fake report which claimed that she had failed to honour her contract, due to Ferguson Films denying to adhere to a clause she had stipulated.
The far-fetched article went as far as to allocate Kgomotso with a character and storyline and detailed that the supposed clause stipulated that the production company protect her from unfair treatment imposed on her ex.
To which she responded with, “Fake news” and a laughing face.
