A couple of months ago, Uzalo cast and crew members downed their tools after it was revealed that the show had not paid its workers for the month of August 2018. At the time, the production sent out a statement confirming the strike,
“Production on the popular Mzansi telenovela, Uzalo has been paused for the remainder of this month. This follows an amicable decision by the cast and crew to suspend their services until such a time as they are paid their August salaries, which came due on the 25th of August.”
