Hey there, pop culture enthusiasts! Grab some popcorn because we’ve got some juicy news coming out of the entertainment world that’s sure to raise eyebrows. Actress Nolwazi Shange, known for her role in
Scandal! , has found herself at the center of a major fraud investigation, and it’s a doozy!
According to reports from Daily Sun , Nolwazi, who worked as a casting director on the show Queen Modjadji , stands accused of swiping nearly R700,000 (that’s a serious chunk of change!) from the production. So, what exactly went down? Well, it seems Nolwazi was in charge of recruiting agencies for extras, and here’s where things took a turn for the shady.
Sources claim that after the extras did their thing and sent in their invoices, Nolwazi allegedly played a sneaky little game: she changed the amounts and bank details, funneling the cash into a mysterious account linked to her.
Yikes! Some bemused agencies even marched over to Rhythm World demanding their payments, only to discover that Nolwazi’s little scam had left them high and dry. Talk about a plot twist!
Once the jig was up, Nolwazi’s lawyers attempted to smooth things over with Rhythm World, suggesting they might avoid opening a case if she agreed to repay the money. However, that deal fell through faster than you can say “fraud,” and now, the production company is all about accountability. They’ve officially opened a case against her.
Nolwazi has been quoted saying she had no idea about the issue (classic denial move, right?). “I don’t know about it,” she reportedly stated, “My contract with Queen Modjadji ended about three months ago, so I don’t know.”
Meanwhile, Captain Tintswalo Sibeko confirmed to Daily Sun that the case is indeed on the books and is under investigation. As for the folks at Rhythm World? They’re playing it safe and letting their lawyers handle the situation.
So, what’s the takeaway here? Nolwazi might have had a promising career ahead, but this scandal could seriously tarnish her reputation. It’s a classic reminder that sometimes life imitates art—in ways we don’t want to see! We’ll keep you posted as more details emerge. Stay tuned!
