It is rumoured that Menzi Ngubane could be joining ‘Generations: The Legacy’ after being fired with 15 other cast members last year.
The other fired cast members are still in legal battles with MMSV Productions and the SABC after being fired for striking against contractual issues.
According to Sunday Sun, Menzi, better known as “Ngamla”, who played the character of Sbusiso Dlomo on the old ‘Generations’ is in talks with soapie boss Mfundi Vundla.
It is said that Menzi has been unemployed since he was fired last August and he also underwent a kidney transplant after he was fired.
The paper reports that Menzi allegedly met Mfundi and apologised.
A source close to the situation claimed: “I think there’s more to it than an apology. Menzi has been without a job for months. And I think he’s tired of speculations that he’s joining this soapie or that soapie.”
A close source added: “Maybe sooner or later he’ll be back under MMSV!”
Another source said: “It’s really cold out from under the Generations umbrella. Menzi has bills to pay. And going to court every now and then really adds to them. It’s a good thing they’ve smoked the peace pipe.”
When asked about the claims, Mfundi said: “I don’t have grudges against Menzi. He’s my brother. Menzi and I just had a few disagreements – that’s all. And he knows where we stand.”
Mfundi said he’ll always work with Menzi, as he has the greatest respect for him.
A shocked Menzi said when asked about the allegations: “Last time I heard from him was when he fired me by email. I don’t know about his change of heart lately.”
