Vuyo Ngcukana dismisses reports on being fired from the South African TV series, The Queen.
Socialite Phil Mphela announced that the actor was laid off during the early hours of Monday.
“Vuyo Ngcukana fired. The actor who plays Schumacher on #TheQueenMzansi has been let go by the production. Word is, the actor broke contractual obligation to the show,” Phil tweeted.
Vuyo was informed the reports and immediately took to Twitter to rubbish the claim, which he believes is aimed to taint his image.
“This has been an attack on my professional reputation which has caused my family, loved ones and business associates stress, at the very least I’m disappointed but not surprised, I have NOT been fired from #TheQueenMzansi,” the actor wrote.
“That report was deliberate and malicious, please believe THAT, it is not the first time nor will it be the last, I hold myself to a very high standard with work and I have never compromised that, I appreciate the love since that post,please keep enjoying the work and God bless,” he added.
