Responding to questions sent by IOL Entertainment, Lauren Nell, a showrunner at Ferguson Films, said that Dineo’s contract was not terminated.
“Dineo’s contract was not terminated. She is still on payroll until the end of May. Dineo was released to go and shoot her movie. Scripts had to be rewritten to accommodate this as she was on an ‘A’ storyline. She was scheduled to return in April, but due to the lockdown, everything has changed. All cast and crew contracts end at the end of May”, she said.
Nell also said Mfenyana was shooting with “The Queen” before lockdown but had decided to take some time off work until further notice “due to personal reasons”.
The actress is rumoured to be pregnant, with eagle-eyed fans of the show taking to social media, speculating whether she is with a child or not.
Earlier this year Rami Chuene was axed from the show. Dineo Moeketsi was not available for further comment.
