The statement issued by Rhythm World states that the payments will be made as soon as the funds are received.  The production house offered their apologies to their staff members for the inconvenience caused and further acknowledged the level of stress that the late notification may cause to them.

Umkhokha: The Curse cast includes Deli Malinga, Nay Maps, Sibonile Ngubane and Mbuso Khoza.

It has also been reported that the crew members of Bakwena Production’s Pound 4 Pound also faced financial woes due to non-payment.

The 13-part series set on the backdrop of boxing, features a star-studded cast which includes Mduduzi Mabaso, Zolisa Xaluva, Brandon Auret and Sne Mbatha.

Speaking to City Press, Brandon said: “They are using my intellectual property without it being paid for. I got a call from Rashaka saying they would be paying everybody by Wednesday this week (past Wednesday).”
