Legendary South African actor Sello Maake KaNcube has resorted to going the legal route.
Sello was left devastated after he did not get the Market Theatre artistic director job which was given to Greg Homann.
KaNcube’s plan to seek legal recourse comes after his and The Market Theatre’s legal team failed to reach the middle ground in the two pre-trial conferences over the past two weeks.
It is believed that he had been eyeing the post ever since it was advertised and he was disappointed when he failed to land it.
In the first conference, which was held virtually, Kancube’s advocate Makayla Pillay asked the theatre’s legal team to furnish them with the scoreboard that indicates that Homann obtained 41 points more than the former Generations actor.
He was recently in Zimbabwe were he was a guest of the government of that country. It is not clear how much he received but it surely would be enough to go to court.
“They refused to hand over the scoreboard and said it was private information of the candidates who contested for the position,” said KaNcube.
He is one of the most renowned and celebrated South African actor and this will be hugely followed by the media.
The award-winning thespian said the legal team also refused to disclose to him the points he scored during the interview, insisting that it was confidential information.
No comment was obtained form the Market Theatre powers.
KaNcube also said Pillay and The Market Theatre lawyers also met on Monday last week, where they again reached a deadlock about the scoreboard.
