Shange is facing charges of cyber forgery, uttering, fraud, and theft while she was working as a casting director for Rhythm World Production when the alleged crimes occurred in March. She was also involved with Masakhane Casting and Make Your Art (Pty) Ltd. Shange’s role was to recruit actors to perform as extras in various productions. But when Rhythm World paid her, she allegedly kept the funds. She is accused of taking R700,000. Shange also allegedly tampered with invoices by changing the banking details. She reportedly replaced the real casting agencies with unknown names, meaning those who did the work never got paid. The Gauteng National Prosecuting Authority spokesperson Phindi Mjonondwane said, “We are committed to ensuring justice is served.”
