Pinky Gumede told Sunday World that the producers initially approached her and her mother about appearing on Mampintsha and Babes Wodumo’s reality TV show, uThando Lodumo.

Pinky alleges that the production company didn’t pay them well after shooting two seasons with them.

“We shot two seasons with them and we were badly paid. Even then we were ill-treated, and we had to fight for our money,” Pinky said.

She said following Mampintsha’s untimely demise, Parental Advisory Production approached the Gumedes for Season 3 of the show. Pinky said they initially refused but eventually gave in after Thomas convinced them citing the wellbeing of Mampintsha’s child.

“But again, Thomas begged us, he apologised and even promised to do things right. He said we must think of Mampintsha’s child. And he said if we refuse to shoot, we might jeopardise the child’s future. Based on this we agreed, but we never signed any documents,” she said.

She says when she asked for a contract, Thomas assured her he was looking into it. Pinky Gumede claims Thomas ghosted her after Mampintsha’s funeral and she was hurt because she knew she’d been played again.

Pinky claims she’d moved on from the issue but old wounds were reopened when she saw the TV show’s trailer. She vowed to take legal action if Moja Love and Parental Advisory Production failed to pay her.

“But I will not stop demanding money. I also want my mother’s money if they fail to pay me, I’ll sue them,” said Pinky.
