Wiseman Mncube publicly apologises to Ash-Ley Ogle

by Zintle Mdaka

Multi-award-winning actor, Wiseman Mncube has recently rectified his mistake by issuing a public apology to former Big Brother Mzansi housemate, Ash-Ley Ogle for his insensitive remarks.

The former Ehostela actor made a comment about Ash-Ley being a coloured from Wentworth leading to him presuming that she is dangerous, and said that the winner of Big Brother Mzansi Sweet Guluva should break up with her while he still had time.

This comment did not sit well with Ash-Ley’s supporters and some of the internet users, prompting them to say they will stop watching any production that works with Wiseman and threatened to boycott Shaka iLembe.

Shortly after the uproar ensued, Wiseman issued a public statement on X (formerly Twitter) where he expressed his sincere apologies, and said he was joking and did not realise that this comment would be perceived as completely inappropriate.

“I take full responsibility for my actions and the harm they may have caused. I now realise the weight of my words and the harm they may have, and I am committed to being more mindful in the future, I will take this as a learning moment and do better moving forward,” read the statement.

The apology was met with different opinions, with some wondering why he was apologising, while others said Ash-Ley is also not a saint.
