Renowned actor Menzi Ngubane was set to start filming season 5 of The Queen in July, and Ferguson Films has been anticipating welcoming him to the show with great excitement.
The production company recently released a statement announcing that they are aware of the challenges Menzi has faced with his health, and through constant communication with him and his family, was kept abreast of his condition.
“The Ngubane family have humbly requested that Menzi take more time to focus on his health and recovery. “We were very excited when we announced that Menzi will be joining The Queen family, as he brings with him a wealth of experience,” they wrote.
“We will continue keeping them in our prayers and supporting them on this journey, and wish Menzi strength to continue fighting the good fight, and come back stronger than ever,” says The Queen executive producer Connie Ferguson.
“We can’t wait for him to make his return soon to entertain our viewers with his charismatic acting skills and screen presence,” added co-executive producer Shona Ferguson.
The Ngubane family have expressed great gratitude to all who have been concerned about his wellbeing and appreciate the prayers, and have asked for privacy to allow them to focus on Ngubane’s recovery.
Mzansi Magic says they are devastated by the news of Menzi’s health challenges and would like to wish him a speedy recovery.
“The health and well-being of our talent remains a priority and we commend Ferguson Films for taking all the necessary precautions to allow him to focus on his health,” says Nomsa Philiso, the Channel Director for local entertainment Channels at M-Net.
