The cast and crew of Empini are voicing serious concerns over safety on set following a brutal injury sustained by one of the show’s lead actors, Mpumi Mpama. The incident reportedly occurred during a high-intensity scene, where Mpumi was hurt, resulting in significant injuries that required immediate medical attention.
The injury has sparked fears among the rest of the cast, who now worry about their own safety while filming similar action-packed sequences. According to sources close to the production, several cast members have raised issues about the lack of adequate safety measures, particularly during scenes involving physical stunts or potentially hazardous conditions.
“Seeing Mpumi get hurt was terrifying,” shared one cast member, who requested anonymity. “We all understand that accidents can happen, but there needs to be more emphasis on safety to prevent incidents like this from happening in the future.”
The production team has since released a statement expressing regret over the incident and assuring everyone that they are reviewing safety protocols to ensure a safer environment for the cast and crew. They emphasized that the safety of their team is a top priority and that they are committed to implementing additional measures to prevent future accidents.
Fans of Empini have taken to social media to send their well-wishes to Mpumi for a speedy recovery. Many are also calling on the showrunners to make sure the cast can continue filming without fear. The incident has ignited a broader conversation within the industry about the importance of rigorous safety standards, especially for productions that involve intense action scenes
