Imbewu: The Seed actress Brenda Mhlongo – who plays the character of Phakade’s wife – KaMadonsela has joined Tshedza Pictures’ multi-award-winning telenovela The River.
Sources from e.tv’s telenovela informed City Press that the actress has relocated to Johannesburg to film with the show this month.
She joined The River after they offered her a more lucrative global contract.
It is alleged that the former Generations: The Legacy star felt “disrespected” when she was presented with a lower-paying call actor’s contract in 2021 by Imbewu
“They’re cost-cutting and instead of letting her go – as they did to half the cast and crew last year – they put her on a call contract, which meant she was only paid per shoot.”
“As a big actress, she didn’t take kindly to that at all,” Mhlongo joined Imbewu after Skeem Saam actress – Fundiswa Zwane dumped the show due to salary disputes.
