Dirty Business

No one wants to be overlooked at work – especially after you’ve put in countless hours and sacrificed your reputation for the sake of the company. That’s exactly what Tracy (Zizipho Buti) did in 2021 when, after a messy battle between media newbie Moroka Media and stalwarts #Ezweni, her past as an escort came to light. So when her Moroka Media boss Mazwi (Musa Ngema) decides to hire someone else as the office manager, she loses her cool. “She believes that she deserves the position!” exclaims Zizipho.

TEAM LOYALTY

Tracy has diligently served as Mazwi’s personal assistant since day one, backing him when his own family looked down on his new venture. Now Tracy feels she’s ready to move up in life. But Zizipho says that Mazwi has other plans. “He straight up tells her no – she’s not qualified.” Tracy begs to differ, with the actress explaining that “Tracy has grown tremendously – she’s pretty much helped Mazwi start Moroka Media!” But Mazwi isn’t budging and even goes as far as to accuse Tracy of using bullying and manipulation tactics to get the job. The actress says her character is “hurt and dejected” by her boss’s attitude.
