Lady behind sexual alegations against ‘Imbewu’ cannot be found

After Imbewu made headlines for alleged sexual misconduct, the young actress who made the claims is nowhere to be found. The producer, Anant Singh, now says this could be the work of someone trying to be mischievous.

“No one seems to know anything (about it). I think it is someone trying to make some monkey business. The show is coming out, people are jealous. You never know what is in people’s heads. It is quite unfortunate and very disappointing. If someone has something to say, come out and say ‘this is what happened to me’. Then we can either defend it or say you are talking nonsense.”

Allegations

Amanda Phakathi, made allegations of inappropriate sexual remarks and being humiliated on set on social media. Attempts to get hold of her however failed as no one knows her and she has not made any contact with the producers of the show.

Singh said they were concerned that Phakathi had disappeared. “The show is coming out. People are jealous. You will never know what is in people’s heads. It’s quite unfortunate and very disappointing – if someone has something to say, they must come out and say ‘this is what happened to me’.”

e.tv said the matter was being investigated.

Imbewu is set to hit TV screens on April 16. It revolves around the family dynasties and two brothers in KwaZulu-Natal.
