Nandipha said one of the ideas she pitched was about a show aimed at rehabilitating young people who are addicted to nyaope. ZAlebs reports that a similar show called Ready to Quit premiered on the channel in December, 2020.
The publication reports that Nandipa told Daily Sun that she was shook when she saw that they were using the same concept she pitched.
Channel Head Bokani Moyo told the publication that a show about rehabilitation had already been in the pipelines, hence they requested Nandipha not to "promote the ideas".
