For years the star has been vocal about artists’ rights and fair treatment and lately, she’s been speaking out about the exploitation of artists in the entertainment industry.

While fans applauded Chuene for being the voice of the struggling artists, some suggested that she start her own production company, with others labelling her “bitter and jealous”.

“You can just start your own production company/ business if you want mansions & cars. The SASSA mentality is everywhere in South Africa and that’s why we are not making progress as black people. Start your own and implement what you’re preaching,” tweeted @Otforeva.

“The problem starts when you believe you are more talented than your Bosses, therefore you deserve better … Start your own company sisi and pay the artist what you believe is appropriate, be the change you wanna see,” added @dumisani668.

“The ‘… has built many mansions and bought many cars …’ part proves just how bitter and jealous you are! It’s evident you are talking about the Fergusons and in my understanding this thing it’s the whole industry problem. Why take a swipe at the Fergusons?” tweeted @tastefulbright.

It is alleged that Chuene was let go because of tensions between her and the show’s producers, Connie and Shona Ferguson.

Chuene showed Ndara support in 2019 when she penned an open letter about exploitation and underpaying of actors in the industry in which she called out Ferguson Films.
