Vuyo Dabula
South African actor, Vuyo Dabula recently became upset when elders at a church he has been a member of for years expelled him.
South Africa Latest News reports that Vuyo who plays the villain Khumkani ‘Gadaffi’ Phakade in the popular soapie, Generations, is alleged to have never seen this coming.
According to insiders at the charismatic church in Soweto, known to
Vuyo was initially given the ultimatum to either quit or be removed as a
member and he chose Generations over his church.
We understand that the church elders got hot under the collar when
they saw Gaddaffi kissing and also being involved in steamy s*x scenes
with his onscreen wife Thsidi.
Church members who asked to remain anonymous due to the
repercussions might face at the worship house, claim that the elders
made it clear to the star that he should tow the line or face expulsion.
‘Vuyo was a great member of the church and his presence also
brought more members due to his popularity. Even the elders were happy
to see that his fame was held in high regard. However, trouble started
when his character, Gadaffi, started paying in scenes of kissing and
s*x,’ says a church member.
Another member claims that the church could not distinguish between Vuyo and his character in Generations.
‘The issue here is that the church has strict rules which
everyone should adhere to. However another problem is that the elders
who are mostly elderly men, couldn’t differentiate between the real
person and a fictional character. He is just doing his job as an actor,’ says the source.
It is understood that the elders met the actor several times to
tell him that they are not pleased with his character on the show, and
he told them that he would talk to his bosses to remove s*xual scenes
from his storyline.
‘Gadaffi was trying to dismiss the elders as he knew he had no authority to dictate on how his character should be used,’ said the source.
It is also understood that when church elders realized that they
were not going to get the desired results, they decided to take action
against the actor.
When the elders realized that Vuyo was still doing kissing scenes,
they lost their cool and told him to get the hell out of their church.
They told him he was given ample time to ditch the soapie, but he
defied them. He was told that he was undermining church authority and
bringing the church into disrepute.
Vuyo told the elders that he couldn’t help in the situation as he
was just an employee. His statement angered the elders. Also, as a
church code of conduct, the church demands it’s members dress
appropriately. They should not wear clothes that reveal too much flesh.
When contacted for comment, Vuyo said, 'No no no It’s none of anyone’s business. The elders have nothing to do with what I do. Please do not drag them into this.'
