Kagiso Modupe has publicly addressed the “Pimville” payment controversy, which has sparked backlash from unpaid cast and crew members of the SABC2 telenovela. In his response, Modupe clarifies his role in relation to allegations that payments were mishandled, and he speaks directly to claims that he is responsible for the situation. Multiple reports describe him distancing himself from accountability for unpaid actors, stating that he was instructed to remain within his role and not to take responsibility for payment matters beyond his remit.
The reports also note that Modupe expresses solidarity with affected production workers who say they have not been paid. While the outlets differ in emphasis—one focusing on Modupe’s explanation of his involvement and another highlighting his rejection of direct responsibility—both agree that the actor is responding to ongoing concerns about payments on the Pimville production.
The controversy remains tied to the complaints from cast and crew, with Modupe’s statements aimed at addressing public allegations and setting out his position.
