I was due to work on a series that was meant to shoot on March 26 2020. The project cannot resume until ports of entry are reopened.
Nokuthula explained that her upcoming gig was therefore postponed due to the global pandemic and the lockdown imposed in Mzansi to curb the spread of Covid-19. She said that postponement meant she was hoping that the government would come through for her as promised with financial aid during this time.
The actress said she had hoped the announced R150m relief fund allocated to help performers and artists during the lockdown would help her, but even after submitting all necessary documentation, she had been met with nothing but silent treatment.blow. I sent through all required docs by your dept, I’m yet to receive an acknowledgment of receipt from your dept.
