Bomb Productions, a production company reveals that it has concluded an internal investigation into allegations of misconduct involving actor Bonko Khoza and actress Nirvana Nokwe-Mseleku, finding insufficient evidence to substantiate the claims.
The matter relates to an incident during the filming of the Showmax mini-series Red Ink in 2023 and has since sparked widespread public debate, alongside renewed scrutiny of safety protocols and accountability within South Africa’s film and television industry.
In a statement, the production company said it activated formal procedures immediately after concerns were raised, stressing that all allegations of abuse or harassment are treated seriously and that the safety, dignity, and well-being of cast and crew remain a priority.
The investigation involved producers, directors, and key personnel present on set. Both parties were informed of the outcome, along with guidance on possible further steps available to them.
According to production company, the scene at the centre of the dispute was a scripted, fully clothed violent stunt sequence within a serial killer storyline. It said no simulated sexual content was involved and confirmed that a safety officer was present during rehearsals and filming.
