Veteran actor Dumisani Mbebe has been fired from an upcoming role on a Netflix show because he did not show up for a table read.
What’s baffling however is the fact that Dumisani Mbebe is currently self-isolating after contracting Covid-19 and there was no way he was going to risk going to the table read.

Dumisani has been sharing his journey of recovery on his Twitter account.
We continue the fight!
