Shona Ferguson Receives Backlash From Black Twitter After Tweeting His Dream Cast! Most SA actors dream of working for the Fergusons, it turns out Shona also has his own list of actors he wants to work with.
Taking to twitter, the actor, producer and owner of Ferguson Films shared that he wanted to put out a project with a select group of actors. On the list was the likes of Jessica Nkosi, SK Khoza, Clint Brink and Thembisa Mdoda.
Whilst that could be a fire show, not everyone was happy with Ferguson’s tweet. Others felt some actors on the list were not talented whilst others thought he needed to open up the industry with the new talent.
Check out some of the reactions below.
Be fair to the profession. Remove Thando Thabede, Thembisa Mdoda, Abdul Khoza. Include Brenda Ngxoli, Warren Masemola, Nomzamo Mbatha, Sdumo Mtshali, Ronnie Nyakale, Malusi Skenjana

How about you give new talent a chance, discover new people. This is just not fair to other talented young people out there,opportunities are given to the same people over and over again,.
