Generations actors call off press conference

The 16 dismissed actors from popular soapie Generations, have called off their press conference which was scheduled for Monday.


The Minister of Arts & Culture Nathi Mthethwa has called a meeting of all stakeholders involved this morning. Desmond Brown, the actors legal representative, said the meeting in Pretoria called for the rescheduling of the press conference.

Following executive producer Mfundi Vundla’s revelations about R55 000 average salaries on Friday, many were keen to hear what the actors had to say for themselves.
