It’s reported that cast members were told to put their debit orders on hold because the production will only be able to pay them later in the week.
According to a source from the soapie, they have not been paid and have decided to take a break until their salaries are paid. “We were supposed to be back filming the new season on Monday, but we have not been paid our salaries as we were supposed to on the last day of the month. So, we have decided to stay away from filming until we are paid.”
Another source told the publication that they don’t know when they’ll be paid: “It is nothing new. It is like they do not care about our bills. We have cars, houses, school fees, and other bills to pay. Nothing has been said to indicate when we will get our salaries paid into our accounts.”
