Popular Mzansi star, award-winning actor Wiseman Mncube has weighed in on claims Skeem Saam actress Nompilo Mwelase was “rude and heartless” towards aspiring actors during the auditions by Black Brains Pictures at the Bat Centre in Durban this past weekend.

Mvelase (who plays the role of Nokuthula on the SABC 1 educational drama series) received backlash for not giving hopefuls enough time during their monologues.

The actress was also accused of being biased and giving special treatment to actors who had already established themselves in the industry.

Speaking to Sunday World, Mwelase said she was only doing her job, and to the best of her ability.

“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

She added that, having been down the same road, and with her experience, she can easily spot potential.

“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 [Black Brain Pictures founder] 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.”

Mncube – who stars in Mzansi Magic’s telenovela, My Brother’s Keeper – said casting directors should always give hopefuls a chance to showcase their talent.

“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 former Shaka Ilembe actor wrote on his Facebook page.

Mncube further slammed fellow actors who mistreat those who have not made it.

“This thing of saying I’ve been through this and that must change manje [now] 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.

“Well, first of all, I don’t wanna offend your real baby daddy… but, I would love to. But, first of all, let’s get you out of the pit so we can put you somewhere safe like the VIP or some sh*t. Cause you can’t be pregnant getting bounced around. When I start playing some of these slappers, we can’t have you getting pushed around,” he said while being cheered on by the rest of the audience.

“Second of all, I’d love to give you $25,000 so you can be a rich baby mama,” Drake added.

The rapper’s act of kindness is truly admirable considering the recent developments that took place after one of his recent concerts. On 13 February, a mother and daughter duo, Laticha Bracero and Alyssa Cordova were tragically killed after attending Drake’s concert at Enterprise Center in St. Louis, Mo, Billboard reported.

They were hit by a speeding car that ran a red light while they were crossing the street. The heartbreaking and horrific accident scene was caught on CCTV footage and leaked on social media.

According to TMZ, during his Buffalo, NY concert at KeyBank Center, the 37-year-old Canadian rapper shared a few emotional words on the matter and said: “You never know what somebody else’s reality will be when they walk out of this building.”

The twist of the season is in and Liema is R250 000 richer. The season’s songstress, Liema, has bowed out of the game after choosing a cheque that came at the cost of the show.

Biggie put the whole house up for nomination, requiring all of them, excluding the Head of House, to take part in the Fate Room challenge. As usual, there were two rounds to the challenge.

The rest of the house lost out on a shot at immunity through the HoH games and had to face the reality of nominations. Each of them stepped into the diary room to state their case and make their final selections of housemates that they would like to see booted from the Big Brother Mzansi house.
