Uzalo actor Wiseman Mncube has weighed in on criticism levelled at acting colleague Nompilo Mwelase. She has been accused of being “rude and heartless” towards aspiring actors who auditioned recently in Durban.

Mwelase, who plays the role of Nokuthula on SABC 1’s weekday drama series Skeem Saam, came under fire on social media. Many hopefuls bashed her for not giving some of them time to showcase their talent.

Hopefuls dejected by her rude, humiliating treatment
The auditions took place at the Bat Centre in Durban. Black Brains Pictures was scouting for IsiZulu-speaking actors.

Some hopefuls alleged they were rudely cut by Mwelase. She is also accused of giving preferential treatment to people who are already in the acting industry. Some said they returned home heartbroken after being subjected to humiliation and harsh rejection.

Mncube is famous for his roles as Sibonelo in Uzalo, Jama in eHostela and Mqhele Zulu in the hit telenovela The Wife. He said those in charge of auditioning should have a heart for the hopefuls.

People deserve a chance
“If I advertise that I’m hosting auditions for a certain production and I need you to prepare a monologue song dance piece or a Poem. I should give you a chance to showcase what you’ve prepared even if I see that ‘okay, you are not the look 👀 I’m looking for but let me give you a chance to prove me otherwise’,” Mncube wrote on his Facebook page.

“This thing of saying I’ve been through this and that must change manje cause when we were going through that it wasn’t nice.

“It was also hard on us and it’s time we change that because I don’t buy this thing of saying it’s part of the game. Because all we are doing is condoning it. Remember that behind the auditionee is a person. So give that person a chance to showcase what you’ve advertised that you are looking for.

“I could be wrong because I believe in genuine craft, not looks. We are here to act, not to showcase how good looking we are. This has made me toy with the idea of opening up my modeling production.”

Skeem Saam actress Nompilo Mwelase is accused of being “rude and heartless” towards aspiring actors who attended auditions organised by Black Brains Pictures.

The production company, owned by esteemed actor and producer Mandla N, spent a weekend in KwaZulu-Natal scouting for IsiZulu-speaking actors and actresses.

The auditions kicked off in Newcastle and wrapped up in.

Mwelase, who plays the role of Nokuthula on SABC1’s weekday drama series, was a casting director during the auditions staged at a packed Batcentre in Durban on Saturday.

Hopefuls sent packing
Some hopefuls alleged that they were not afforded time to showcase their talents because they were rudely cut by Mwelase.

Sizwe Mbanjwa, who said he borrowed money from friends in order to get closer to realising his dream, was among 2 000 aspiring actors who allege that they were subjected to ill-treatment.

“Right now I am questioning my credibility and worth in this entertainment industry, I have never been so embarrassed,” said Mbanjwa.

“Just when I was getting started, that lady from Skeem Saam curtly cut me by saying ‘next’.

Preferential treatment
Another dejected hopeful Nozizwe Mdletshe accused Mwelase of being impatient, alleging that she showed preferential treatment to people who are already in the acting industry.

“It was heartbreaking to see some kids walking away in tears after that harsh rejection. Imagine being turned away like that after having gone through grueling preparations and sacrifice, said Mdletshe.

“What I also picked up is that some people were allowed to bypass the long queue at the expense of others who had endured the scorching sun.Wooden mics
Approached for comment, Mwelase said she feels the social media backlash on her is unfair.

“People must work on their craft. I’m not gonna be having bosses not happy with my work trying to please people,” said Mwelase.

“I had a judge having to do pre-screening after me because I was being kind and letting people go through, but judges complained that they were getting only ‘wooden mics’ instead of people they were really looking for.

“Having been an actor for a while, I can easily spot one with a potential.”

She advised aspiring actors not to give up after the rejection.

“I have been down this road myself, but I dusted myself up and kept knocking on doors until my break came.

“This year is the fourth year I am working with Mandla N because I had to go through phases. As much as some people were desperate for opportunities at the auditions, I was also doing my job to the best of my ability.”

Some people on social media say it was not the first time that Black Brains Pictures subjected aspiring actors to bad treatment in Durban.

The production company is among leading storytellers in the country having produced Lockdown, Isitha: The Enemy, The Back Door and Diep City, among others.

Mandla N was not available for comment.
