The Wife star, Siyabonga Shibe revealed in an interview with King David that a Scandal! producer cost him a R300 000 gig.

SIYABONGA SHIBE: ‘THEY TOLD ME I’M NOT A GOOD ACTOR’
Actor Siyabonga Shibe says a Scandal! producer killed his confidence when she fired him and told him he’s not a good actor.

“In this production, I was told by a producer. I was on Scandal! and a lot of things were happening, actors leaving. I had an international advert that I had to do. It was paying for two days, R300 000.”

“That was not common. So, I asked, the following week, please can I be off, and they agreed. We were supposed to fly to Dubai.”

He adds that the producer changed her mind the following week and told him, he’s not going anywhere and showed him his contract.

He was heartbroken when a month later he got fired on Scandal! as Kila after losing R300 000 from his international gig.

“This person says you’re not a good actor. She looked at me in my eyes and said you’re not a good actor. We believe we can get someone else.”

“At that moment, everything shut. A second felt like three years. Don’t be fooled by people on Facebook complimenting you. It doesn’t bring numbers here. I was heartbroken. Whenever I saw this woman on the corridors, it was hate.”

Former Bafana Bafana striker Benni McCarthy celebrated his daughter’s 19th birthday, and fans noticed how much they looked alike.

It was a special day for Benni’s family as they saw another life added to Minna. Over the years, fans had been looking at Benni, thinking he would return to work in South Africa.

All these wishes did not happen, as he found himself at home in Manchester under the leadership of Erik Ten Hag. Despite all this, most of Benni McCarthy’s fans did not know much about his children.

Some were surprised to see how much he looked alike with her daughter Minna.

“Just like the Father 🙌🏽 ❤️,” said a fan by the name @Stanton Fredericks.It was a special weekend for Benni as he had celebrated his wife’s birthday two days before Minna’s. Wishing his wife a happy birthday, he penned another heartfelt message on Instagram. “Happy Birthday to my wife and dueño de mi corazón. Have a beautiful day. You deserve it. I love you unconditionally. ❤️🎉@staceymccarthy17,” he said.MZANSI WISH MINNA WELL

Taking a breather from Mzansi’s TV scene, Jessica Nkosi is diving into family life and honing her personal brand. After welcoming her second child in 2023 with hubby Ntokozo ‘TK’ Dlamini, she’s hitting pause on productions, teasing a possible comeback next year.

SHE BAGGED A NEW BRAND PARTNERSHIP
During this downtime, Nkosi isn’t just chilling – she’s busy boosting her personal brand. The latest gig? Bayer South Africa’s Consumer Health division crowns her ambassador for Bepanthen® Derma products.

Nkosi is known for her commitment to lasting partnerships. She even emphasises her love for sticking with brands for the long haul.

“For every brand that I work with I’m an ambassador of. I don’t do monthly partnerships; I look for longevity, and I sign long contracts,” Nkosi explains to IOL Entertainment.

Off-screen, the Volvo South Africa ambassador keeps it real, teaming up only with brands that vibe with her values. No compromises here – Nkosi insists on authenticity and seeks loyalty and longevity in her partnerships.

“I want longevity, I want loyalty and that to me means more,” explains the actress, who doesn’t mind saying no to deals that do not align with her goals.

“I can’t convince people to believe in something that I don’t believe in the brand myself,” she says.

SHE WANTS SOMETHING DIFFERENT
Even though she’s off the TV radar, Nkosi has big plans for her return. She’s not sticking to the same old roles. Tired of playing the sweet girl or the villain, she’s eyeing fresh challenges – a hobo, a lesbian, you name it. Nkosi wants to push her acting boundaries.

She has played the sweet, innocent girl, Qondi, in the Mzansi Magic telenovela ‘Isibaya.’ She has also been cast as the villain Thando Sebata on ‘The Queen.’ But even after acing those roles to the point that she earned her Outstanding Female Villain award at the Royalty Soapie Awards in 2021, she wants “something different.”

According to her, “I want something different, a hobo, a lesbian. I want to push myself acting-wise.”

So, as we wait for her comeback, we now have a hint of what she’s doing behind the scenes. Her focus is on personal and professional growth, and she’s not just thinking about acting. According to IOL Entertainment, she’s eyeing the production scene too.
