 Wiseman Mncube Faces Backlash After Racially Insensitive Comment About Ashley Ogle


South African actor Wiseman Mncube (Shaka iLembe) has issued a public apology after making a controversial comment about Big Brother Mzansi star Ashley Ogle and her relationship with winner Sweet Guluva. The remark, which many deemed racially insensitive, sparked outrage on social media, with fans demanding accountability.


What Wiseman Said

Mncube took to Facebook to joke about Guluva’s romance with Ogle, suggesting that fans should vote for him to win the R2 million prize so he could "run away" from her. The comment referenced Ogle’s race and background, leading to immediate backlash. Though he quickly deleted the post, screenshots circulated online, with users calling out the actor for his "tone-deaf" humor.


Wiseman’s Apology

Recognizing the severity of his words, Mncube issued a formal apology:
"I sincerely apologize to Ashley, her fans, and anyone I hurt with my thoughtless joke. I take full responsibility and realize the impact of my words. This is a learning moment, and I’ll do better moving forward."

Mzansi Reacts: Forgiveness or Cancelation?

The apology divided social media:

  • @bridgetkho46177: "Netflix, how can you platform someone with racist views?"

  • @zendeyapty: "Why apologize? Ashley said worse in the BBMzansi house!"

  • @JenniferNwank: "Ashley is a lovely soul. Why shame her for being coloured? Do better!"

  • @TwoKhosi: "I can’t watch him in Shaka iLembe anymore. Racism has no place here."

Bigger Context

The incident reignited debates about racial sensitivity in SA’s entertainment industry. Some defended Mncube, citing Ogle’s past controversial remarks in the BBMzansi house, while others stressed that two wrongs don’t make a right.
