Fired Lithapo actor Mangaliso Ngema attacked by locusts
Seasoned actor Mangaliso Ngema who was accused of sexual harassment in 2020 was recently attacked by a swarm of locusts in the Northern Cape recently.
The fired Lithapo actor shared several videos of locusts blocking his way and getting inside his car.
In the video, the actor is pleading with the Northern Cape and Free State government to intervene as the locusts are a big problem for farmers in the provinces.
“The locust swarms in the Northern Cape and the Free State are a big problem for farmers.”
“I’d only heard of them in the news, but I saw for myself this past weekend.”
“Our government needs to step up to help farmers, otherwise, we are in trouble.”

Actress Sthandiwe Kgoroge commented:
“Omg! What is God saying that we are not getting?”
Masiya said:
“Exodus 10. God will always warn his people before something terrible comes.”
“I’m not preaching; however, this reminds me of what happened to Pharaoh when he decided to not listen to God.”
Thembani Mbasa:
“Don’t start with the Bushiri type of thinking again.”
“God loves us so great including those locusts. It’s their time, it will pass.”
The seasoned actor was accused by The Queen actress Lorraine Moropa of violating her human rights in July 2020.
He was fired from his role of Senzo Hlongwane on SABC2’s popular drama series Lithapo with immediate effect.
This was after a social media uproar and revelations of an allegation of sexual harassment levelled against him.
Lorraine said it was painful that someone who was supposed to protect and guide her in the entertainment industry violated her human rights.
Moropa accused the colleague of undressing her by the way he looks at her and of grabbing his genitals on a set while looking at her “a**s”.
Quizzical Pictures released a statement that said they’ve resolved the issue on the Lithapo set.
”The actress concerned is comfortable with the outcome. We would like to thank the cast and crew for their patience. Quizzical Pictures remains committed to creating a fair and respectful workplace for all our cast and crew.”
Harriet Gavshon from the production company explained that the decision to remove Ngema was with immediate effect.
“He is no longer part of the production and the story is being rewritten.
Quizzical Pictures deeply regrets the hurt that this has caused and would like to thank the actress for her bravery and speaking out against it.”
Mangaliso publicly apologised and admitted to the incident which took place on set.
“I am not going to deny any allegations levelled against my name. I will take full responsibility for the sexual harassment case. I apologize to Miss Lorraine Moropa and others for the abuse I directed towards them.”
