Government has called on people not to share a “disturbing video” circulating on social media that claims to depict a young man being confronted for allegedly raping a child in the bathroom of a Dros restaurant in Pretoria. The graphic video depicts a naked man‚ partly covered in blood in a bathroom‚ being confronted by several people. TimesLIVE is in possession of the video‚ but has chosen not to publish it at this stage.

Shocking!Read this : This is how much uzalo actors are been payed

Here’s a fun fact for you. Uzalo very nearly failed to get a second season. It was only saved when Hlaudi Motsoeneng (remember him?) went full autocrat and personally ensured the popular soapie stayed on. Much like a broken watch can be right twice a day, Hlaudi managed to pull off a fantastic victory for soapie lovers and telly-addicts across South Africa. If it feels like praising him is a step too far, don’t worry – SABC’s very own pantomime villain eventually ended up contributing to a pay dispute that almost ended Uzalo for good. Normal service resumed. Back in 2017, the ailing broadcaster was looking to cut financial corners at every given opportunity. However, they caused chaos when they thought about trimming the budget for the show. Here, we’re looking back at the pay dispute that left the cast and crew members SHOOK. Uzalo pay dispute: What lead to SABC’s dire finances? The boat began rocking back in 2016. The SABC board were initially hesitant to renew Uzalo at its annual pr...

Was Mastermind fired from Uzalo?

Anonymous sources have claimed that in a few weeks, Uzalo's Mastermind character will no longer appear on our screens due to the fact that actor, Ntokozo 'TK' Dlamini has been fired for bad behaviour. Much like Mpumelelo Bhulose who was recently fired from eTV's drama, Imbewu: The Seed, it is alleged that Dlamini is a drama king who comes to work late and does whatever he wants. They state that producers used to tolerate said behaviour at first due to his talent but it has gotten worse over time and they have since grown tired of it. They went on to add that he makes outrageous demands on set and doesn't take direction well. They all seem to attribute this to "the fame having gone to his head." Said sources also claim that he shot his last scenes a few weeks ago and only has a few weeks on screen remaining. Both Dlamini and and Uzalo's PR manager, Marang Setshwaelo have denied this, echoing each other's sentiments that he is still a part of the sho...
