Mlamli Mangcala who played Captain Sthembiso Radebe on The Queen Mzansi reveals why he left the soapie.

Mangcala accuses The Queen Mzansi owners Connie and husband Shona Ferguson of lying and deception. He revealed that the couple owes him money since season one. In his narration he exposed the show directors for exposing him to the worst working conditions.

I played Captain Sthembiso Radebe since season one. It was a small role that was going to take 2 months. The channel and Ferguson films loved the character and decided that I continue for a year.

I accepted their offer during the two months so as to be in their database. I’m based in CPT and I had to fly myself, accommodate and also accept a rate that was three times less than my normal rate.When they asked me to stay in for a year I asked if we could look at my rate, traveling, accommodation and pedium. They promised to do that when we go to season 2. I accepted although they gave me a take it or leave it attitude when we got to negotiations for season 2.They only gave me an increase of R100. We gotta to season 3 and they gave me a global contract but with an increase of R100 again. All this time they will promise to give me all that is due to me in the next season and that never happened. We got to season 4 and the same happened.
