Actress Nolwazi Shange In Hot Water Over R700K Fraud Allegations!

Beloved actress Nolwazi Shange is making headlines for all the wrong reasons as she prepares to appear before the Brixton Magistrates’ Court on May 23 to face serious charges of fraud and cybercrime.

The drama isn’t on-screen this time—Shange is accused of orchestrating a R700,000 scam while working as a casting manager on the TV series Queen Modjadji in 2024. According to allegations, she manipulated invoices and redirected payments meant for extras agencies into a company linked to her.

Nolwazi was in charge of hiring extras agencies. After they delivered their services and invoiced the production, she allegedly altered payment details—diverting the funds into a company associated with her instead of the rightful recipients.

When agencies started demanding payments, Rhythm World, the production company behind Queen Modjadji, was left scrambling for answers. An internal investigation quickly unearthed serious irregularities, leading to Shange being flagged as the prime suspect.

Fraud and cybercrime are no joke in South Africa, and Shange’s future could be on the line.
