ARTISTS who have been staging a sit-in at the National Arts Council have been given marching orders.

An eviction order was granted on Friday, 9 April by the High Court of South Africa, Gauteng Local Division.

According to the eviction order, the artists are supposed to evict the building with immediate effect.

Part of the order reads: “Pending the finalisation of any and all disputes pertaining to the implementation of the President Employment Stimulus Programme, the respondents be directed and interdicted to immediately upon service of this order to exit and vacate the premises and offices of the applicant. Not to approach, traverse or be present on the property and premises of the applicant, not to approach and or be present near any are of the property where any works are attended to by the applicant’s employees. Should the artists fail to exit the premises, the NAC is given authority to co-opt any relevant body to assist it in the executing the order, including but not limited to the South African Police Services, to provide the necessary assistance in the execution of the order.”

The artists were further ordered to pay the costs of the application.

On Tuesday, 6 April, Daily Sun reported that the NAC approached the High Court with an intention to evict artists. But the matter was postponed for Wednesday, 7 April.

On Friday, 9 April, the NAC was finally granted the eviction order.Daily Sun understands that the court order has already been served on the artists and they are supposed to evict the building. However, the artists have vowed they are going nowhere and would instead mobilise artists from all over the country.

Sibongile Mngoma, who has been leading the artists, took to Facebook and said: “They want us out of this building because they don’t want us to dig into their dirt. The judge has granted them an interdict to evict us from this building. Well, here is my response, NAC, we will not honour the interdict to evict us. If you want to bring the cops, red ants or anybody, we are here. We are going nowhere, I want to die here. We are ready.”

The artists have been staging a sit-in since 3 March.

Radio and Tv personality Anele Mdoda is having the best time of her life with her kids in Zimbali. However, she raised eyebrows when she declared that she will never stay in Zimbali again. Yuh I will never stay in Zimbali again,” she tweeted.
Amongst many who were concerned and asked what happened is Somizi Mhlongo.
“What happened phela I have a home there…” he asked.
Even though Anele did not give Somizi all the details as to why she does not want to stay in Zimbali gain, she did mention that she wants to own a home as well there.
“The solution is simple wena Som G I need to be a homeowner here. This holiday rental indiqelisa nga bafana. What must happen is someone needs to go halvies with me on a house because wow lama prices,” she responded.

Her followers also started sharing their experiences in Zimbali following her tweet.
@Andiswamakanda said: “I was waiting for this! I checked out a day later after checking in and told them they can keep the money. Did not even have a plan B, sa hambha door to door looking for accommodation, in the night! Ayikho lento. Jonga! It’s just in the middle of nowhere, yonke into YiDrama. Then there is that nonsense code yabo for visitors which makes it nightmarish when you using Uber. Accessing the beach, yiMission. Zimbali is just for couples who want to lay in and look each other in the eye”Yeyi!!! How could I forget? What a mess. So traumatic. I couldn’t even get into my friend’s house that she’d given me residency to whilst she was away. Access everything but still. And no security was even willing to drive us to your rental home. Yhuuuu. A mess Bobo” responded @TopAfrica.

Uzalo‘s problems seem to follow them everywhere when it comes to salary problems. The actor’s even approached Daily Sun to expose the production over salary despondencies.

The actors have alleged that they were not being paid their salaries and are not sure whether history will repeat itself. Despite Uzalo being the most-watched show on television and how their actors work tirelessly to keep it at the top, it’s mind-boggling how they are not being compensated for their hard work.

Just how small are these salaries? Find out below.

Although fired Sizwe Khumbuka and Thulani R20k to R30k along with Noxolo Mathula who plays Lily.

Nkanyiso Makhanya who plays Nonka’s older brother, Siyabonga Shibe, Wiseman Ncube and Nelisa Mchunu are pocketing between R25k and R35k.

Simphiwe Majozi who plays Sbu is getting R30k to R40k a month.

Baby Cele and Gugu Gumede are earning R35k – R45k.Masoja Msiza (Nkunzi) and Dawn Thandeka King who are the leads are being paid R40k – R50k and R40- 55k a month.

Nomcebo is one of the lowest paid with her salry ranging from R15k to R20k per month, she was followed by Nyawo, Madlala and Mbatha whose salaries ranges from R15k to R25k per month.

Salaries have always been a bone of contention, remember the controversial Generations actors who exposed, Mfundi Vundla for erroneously raising their salaries when he revealed to the media that they are paid, generally speaking, R55 000 for every month of work they do on the show.

Mandla Gaduka, who plays Choppa on the soapie, said that SABC COO Hlaudi Motsoeneng confirms that Vundla did raise the pay rates. Hlaudi, however couldn’t go into too much detail as Vundla is not employed by the national broadcaster.

The Arts and Culture Minister Nathi Mthethwa assembled a conference in an attempt to mediate the situation and alleviate the growing tension. This attempt was a failure in the end as SABC authorities arrived five hours late and the Generations crew also failed to turn up.

Mthethwa was hoping to give all the stakeholders a platform to talk out their issues, however the no-show from the Generations body did not help the circumstances.

The on-screen characters have said that Vundla has now gone missing and has not rectified the situation or apologized for his announcements.

‘Dr Sindi’, as she was affectionately known, had been ill after contracting COVID-19 earlier this year.

In a statement released on Saturday afternoon, van Zyl’s family said she passed away on the morning of 10 April 2021 at a Johannesburg hospital.

The medical doctor became a household name through sharing her support and advice on Twitter, quickly gaining a large following.

She was also a radio host on _Kaya FM _until recently.

Her family said: “Sindi always offered support and great advice to educate those around her. Not only was she a beacon of love and light on her Kaya FM show _Sidebar with Sindi’, _and all her social media platforms, but she genuinely loved and gave endlessly to all she knew with grace and kindness. She modelled the love and grace that she knew in Jesus.”

South Africans rallied to raise money in recent days to cover medical doctor Van Zyl’s medical fees which had run into the millions.Her family said that she was in between medical aids when she suddenly needed the life-saving medical care, including being placed on a ventilator.

Family spokesperson Melanie Ramjee said: “I think Sindi was affectionately known by everybody that has crossed her path or she crossed their path. I think the family is still dealing with the grief currently and the shock, but they would want her to be remembered for just the loving kind-hearted, giving and graceful person that she was.”

She leaves behind her husband and two young children.
