Gender inequality is still an issue to some jobs.
Today we are going to look at some of the actresses that were fired because of being pregnant.
1. Keke Mphuthi
She said she almost lost her unborn baby after the Fuegorsons dumped her like a potatoes. Keke claims she only found out about her pregnancy after whole 4 months because she has been on contraceptives the whole time.
2. Manaka Ranaka
Manaka mostly known as Lucy was told to abort or get fired. Apparently she fell oregano at her first acting job and the women she was working for made her choose between her job or the baby.
Although she did not mention the production company it is rumored to be Isidingo. Allegedly the moment she told them she was pregnant she was dropped as Nandipha and was replaced by Hlubi Mboya, and it seemed that the production company had quite the reputation for firing pregnant women.
3. Gabisile T
She recently put scandal bosses in blast, apparently the real reason she left the show 2015 was that she had fallen pregnant and they were not to rewrite her character to accommodate the pregnancy.
She went to do a whole campaign to highlight the injustice women face at work.
4. Gail Mabalane
She said in 2018 she landed a role only to be fired when she revealed she was expecting.
Reportedly they called her in to read with another actor while she was five months pregnant, they loved her of course she is a phenomenal actress, then she told them she was pregnant then literally when she was about to sign the contract they called her and they were like they are not sure anymore. They didn’t think she would lose weight for the role in time.
5. Sphelel Mzimela
According to Uzalo Sphelele had to go because of her personal elements Those personal elements they failed to mention was the pregnancy.
Reports claim that she was ill on set a few times ,throwing up and feeling dizzy which is no doubt of the twins she was carrying at the time. Uzalo gave her her marching orders and looked for someone else to replace her with quickness.
Do you think that what the production companies are doing on women is fair?
