Johannesburg – Television show Uyajola 9/9 has been accused for faking scenes by a woman who claims was paid to act during one of the episodes.
The woman, known as “Blondie” to the show’s viewers, real name Nothando Gumede says she is now in trouble with her family for appearing on TV fighting for a man.
Gumede revealed she thought she was acting just like other actresses when she was given a script and told the actions she was supposed to do during production. She claims she was paid R1,000 not to disclose her role in the episode to the public.
The episode in question was shot in Ntinyane in Mbumbulu and she says the couple she confronted have no problems in their relationship and they were also acting.
“Where the shooting took place is the home of the guy that we were supposed to fight for, he stays with his girlfriend. They paid me R1,000 and this couple was paid R2,000 for them not to talk. Even the condoms which were there I’m the one who put them as I was told, for the episode to look real,” said Gumede.
She says she expected more than the hush money she received as she is now in trouble with her family for embarrassing them on national television. ‘
Gumede says she feels cheated by the show’s producers and that the money is not worth the trouble she is going through.
