A tweep has made it known that should there be a show on murder accused Rosemary Ndlovu,  Vatiswa Ndara should definitely be casted because she would definitely kill (pun intended) it. She would be perfect.

We have got to admit, this tweep is onto something. They even have some form of resemblance and who better than MakaBuli than to pull this magnitude of a character.

But some people are saying that The River's Sindi Dlathu would pull of this character more well seeing how complex her character is on the show. These were some of the reactions:
South Africa's super writer PhaαΉ±hu Makwarela has been ropped in as the writer of the dark thrilling drama horror.
Some people are adamant that this is simply nothing but a dream that may never be realised.
It has been a while since we saw Ms. Vatiswa on our screens ever since that heated exchange she had with the Fergusons.

Fans of the actress are wondering if the actress has been blacklisted from the industry or if she's just had enough, since she had a public feud with the Ferguson Films regarding pay disputes for her role on Igazi. Was the actress also written out of Muvhango after the public meltdown.?

The feud all began when the veteran actress shared an open letter addressed to the sport, arts and culture minister Nathi Mthethwa about the mistreatment of actors in Mzansi.

Here are some highlights from the letter:

β€œActors want to be remunerated fairly. No-one wants to work towards poverty, which is the norm in this industry. When shows rake in profits, actors do not benefit from this. Actors further don't benefit from shows on repeat, even though they should receive royalties."

Though a lot of actors agree with the veteran actresses letter, it was deemed as offensive by Ferguson Films as she made reference to an email between her and the production company:

She quoted an offer made by the production company for the third season of Igazi, where she  was offered R110,000 before 25% tax for five weeks of shooting.

The actress was unhappy with the offer and stated: "Initially I was going for a cool million, minister, then dropped it to R700,000."

After the public feud, Ferguson Films hired legal representatives and denied actress Vatiswa Ndara's accusations: 

"They made it very clear that Ms Ndara would not accept anything less than R700 000 for the 5-week shoot. She absolutely had every right to decline our offer which she did and we, on the other hand as we could not meet her financial demand, due to contractual restraints, had every right to move on amicably, which we tried to do.

Contrary to Ms Ndara's allegations, Ferguson Films does not reap the financial benefits through repeat broadcasts, licensing deals and repackaging of the show.

We wonder if the legendary actress will be back anytime soon because she is definitely missed.
