Actors on Empini show are worried
Cast members of Empini express concern over safety on set.
Recently, actor Mpumi Mpama was brutally injured on set, and was rushed to the hospital.
According to Zimoja, a letter was sent by one of the crew members to the production company.
“I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my concerns about the level of professionalism observed on set during our recent filming on Empini. Unfortunately, there was an incident where an actor (Mpumi Mpama) suffered an injury close to the heart; he was hit with a gun where the script stated to just push him, in the presence of the stunt team and director.”
“Mpumi was brutally injured to the point where he was rushed to the hospital. This situation highlighted a significant lack of oversight and communication that could have prevented such an occurrence. It’s crucial that all safety protocols are strictly followed to ensure the well-being of everyone involved. Two days of production were lost in order for him to recover.”
“Additionally, Mpumi is not the first cast member to allegedly be injured by her on set; it is reported that at least three to four other cast members have also complained. I believe it’s essential for us to maintain a professional environment to foster creativity and safety on set.”
PR specialist at Showmax, Zibuyile Dladla, confirmed Mpama’s injury.
“Mr. Mpama was then taken to the doctor as a precautionary measure to examine any further injuries. He was then given a day off to get some rest. We can confirm that Mr. Mpama is in good health and back on set working again and his medical bill was taken care of,” Dladla said.
