Legendary actor Luthuli Dlamini is said to be refusing to leave a TV producer’s house in Observatory Johannesburg because the producer hasn’t paid him. In a drama series that was shot last year but never made it to the small screen, Dlamini played the lead role. Dlamini is said to be struggling and unemployed at the moment.

 
OWED

Dlamini is alleged to owe producer Mercier Bangala R150 000 for the Empty Love series that they shot in September of last year. Television did not air the series. According to people familiar with the situation, the former Scandal actor is struggling to make ends meet because Bangala has made life extremely difficult for him. Dlamini was given the lead role in the drama series Empty Love by Bangala. The show was supposed to be on the air for a month, but they ended up shooting it for three months. According to the source, “some of the cast members quit the show due to payments.”

OCCUPATION OF THE HOUSE

According to a different source, Dlamini moved into Bangala’s house after leaving his home in Bedfordview in an effort to get him to pay him. He absolutely requires his money. Since last year, Bengala has avoided paying Dlamini. He stated that unless he receives full payment, he would never leave that house. Another source stated, “Dlamini invested his time in that project, and he deserves to be paid his money in full.”

CONFIRMATION

Dlamini initially stated that he did not wish to comment when asked for his opinion. He stated, “Some of what you asked me is false and some is false.” Bangala’s phone never rang, so no one could get a response from him. Dlamini is said to have lost five jobs last year while he was busy shooting Empty Love, which never made it to television because of financial issues.
