South African actress Luyanda Zwane has made headlines, detailing a disturbing incident where a co-star \u201cpointed a gun\u201d at her while they were traveling in a production vehicle to film Sibongile and the Dlaminis<\/em>.<\/p>\n

LUYANDA ZWANE REVEALS THAT A GUN WAS POINTED AT HER<\/h2>\n

During a frank conversation with Shamiso Mosaka and Phil Mphela on their Read The Room<\/a><\/em> podcast on July 2, Luyanda was prompted to discuss the issue of being discouraged from voicing concerns about wrongdoing.<\/p>\n

She disclosed that her decision not to return for season two of Sibongile and the Dlaminis<\/em> was influenced by the inaction regarding the actions of her colleague.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was part of a highly popular show; everyone recognizes Sibongile and the Dlaminis<\/em>. I experienced something serious on the set of Sibongile and the Dlaminis<\/em>,\u201d she shared.<\/p>\n

She continued, \u201cI recall that day vividly; it was around 05:00 in the morning, still dark outside, and I had 20 scenes to shoot. I just wanted some peace and quiet in the car.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I asked him [the co-star], bro, could you please refrain from playing music at this moment? Then he pulled out a gun and pointed it at me, saying, this is not your mother\u2019s car,\u201d she recounted.<\/p>\n

THE PRODUCTION COMPANY DIDN\u2019T SUPPORT LUYANDA<\/h2>\n

The young actress expressed that she did not receive support from the production team during this traumatic situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI approached the producers, explaining, guys, this is what occurred, but they replied, did you die? Nothing happened. He didn\u2019t fire the weapon, so can you just go to set because we\u2019re running out of time,\u201d she mentioned.<\/p>\n

The producers arranged a meeting to create a \u201ccommon ground\u201d without bringing in law enforcement. Luyanda suggested that they refrain from putting her in the same vehicle as the actor in question due to how unsafe he made her feel.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe resolution was [that] I don\u2019t want to share a car with him from now on. I feel genuinely unsafe. My performance relies heavily on my mental health, so if that is compromised, I won\u2019t be able to do my job well,\u201d she detailed.<\/p>\n

Sadly, this arrangement did not last long.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey enforced that for a week or two, but afterward, they told me, \u2018You\u2019re actually affecting our budget, so can you please decide what you want to do,\u201d she revealed.<\/p>\n

MISCONDUCT ON SET IS SEEMINGLY ON THE RISE<\/h2>\n

In May 2026, actress Nirvana Nokwe-Mseleku shared her story about an incident involving her former co-star, Bonko Khoza, who allegedly sexually violated her during a scene of Red Ink<\/em>.<\/p>\n

This incident reportedly took place in September 2023, yet communications and meetings with the producers brought forth no beneficial outcomes.<\/p>\n

Even the unions, which were meant to assist her, surprisingly dismissed her account.<\/p>\n

In response, Bonko issued an official statement refuting the allegations against him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will continue to protect my name, dignity, and reputation against these baseless claims. I intend to fully exercise my legal rights to resolve this issue definitively.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
