Mzansi magic hit drama series Mzali WAM actress Lung Jolome Ban Gas is traumatized after she was allegedly physically attacked by a fellow actress on the set of her new movie in Vosloras, Gaten, on Monday. Ban Gas claimed that she sustained minor injuries after she was grabbed, fell off a makeup chair, and was slapped by the other woman after refusing to be photographed by her. This woman grabbed her hands and she fell off the makeup chair. The woman started hitting her, but the directors and producers just stood there. Another cast member. On Sunday, Lung Jolome got a call from the production coordinator saying she needed to bring clothes for the shoot the next day. She replied that she wouldn't because the production was meant to have a wardrobe for her. The coordinator said that was fine. Clothes were provided for her when she arrived on set the next morning, said a source close to the production. While Lung Jolome was having her makeup done, the another actress started taking pictures of her. Lung Jolome was uncomfortable because she was still getting ready, so she told the woman to wait for her to finish, and then they would take pictures. The other actress took it the wrong way and asked her who she thought she was and why she should wait for her to finish having her makeup done. She then told Lung Jolome, I'm taking pictures of you now because you're wearing my clothes. Lung Jolome was shocked because she thought the clothes were part of the production wardrobe, not another cast member. As she was taking the clothes off, the other actress started attacking her. Another cast member said Van Gas had not defended herself, as she feared that physically fighting the woman would ruin her own image. Lung Jolome had covered her face with her hands to avoid being photographed. This woman grabbed her hands and she fell off the makeup chair. The woman started hitting her, but the directors and producers just stood there looking and didn't do anything. Lung Jolome went to her car and started crying, said the cast member. The movie, which is meant to air on multi-choice short film segment, Mzansi Bioskop, is produced by Sant and based production house Behind the Best, which is also behind Mzansi Magic's popular shows I Blew It and Enganyam. Behind the Best CEO, Kopano Malokoini had not responded to questions by the time of going to press. Van Gas's representative and personal assistant, Amyukalani Chhabalala, said the star did not lay charges with the police. She was emotional. She spent the day feeling bad, so she didn't want to go and open a case, said Chhabalala. She added that the production company had sent the star an email offering her an R150 spa voucher to return to the set. They explained that unless she did so, she would have to pay back her day rate R2500 for missing a shoot. They sent another email the next day Tuesday saying that she now owed them the money for missing the shoot.


urn to the issue. Had they replied to me, that would have been our benefit and the petitioner's advantage. Members agree that we read to the Scottish Government? I agree. The final continue petition today is PE1562 by Al MacLean on perversa quito. Members have been open to clerk and submissions. Can I invite contributions from members? I think that the petition should be closed. As we all think and recognise, there is a great deal of sympathy for Mr MacLean, but as we see from the Sheriff's Association to change the position that we are at, it would be a fundamental change in the law of Scotland. I cannot see any merit in writing about asking about the number of times sheriffs have sent it back. I have to say that in 20 years' practice, I have never aware of it happening. I have to say that in seven and a half years, as justice secretary, I was never aware of it happening. I think that the likelihood that you will find is that it is hardly ever being done. I think that it comes back to the point that, made by the Sheriff's Association, you would be asking one person, the sheriff or judge, to replace the verdict of PE15. I think that it is something that we just have to leave until such time as the Government, Parliament, members' bills wish to change it, or that the bottom of the report moves things further. However, I think that we have gone as far as we can and with no desire for legislative change, anything else would simply run into the side. Any other questions? The members agree with Ms McCaskill's proposal to close the petition. As there is no further business, I now form a close meeting.
