SOUTH African actor and producer, Kagiso Modupe’s Instagram with 210k followers has been hacked. The Losing Lerato producer took to Twitter on Tuesday to announce that his account has been hacked.
“Kindly don’t agree or respond to any suspicious requests,” says Kagiso Modupe.
A statement issued by Bakwena Productions via Losing Lerato’s Instagram page suggests that there might be some form of jealousy in the success of the film.
The film’s official Instagram page on Wednesday morning said, “You guys have rallied behind us since the beginning you’ve come out in numbers every week. This movie has broken all kinds of stereotypes about how black people never go to cinemas.”
They also announced that Losing Lerato has stayed on top for three weeks in a row, which is groundbreaking and it’s all because of their supporters.
“Now Kagiso Modupe’s social media account has been hacked, they’re trying to silence us but we won’t be stopped. Let’s continue to make history together. The movie is still in cinemas, let’s make the devil mad. Losing Lerato THANK YOU for your continued support” reads a mini-statement released on Instagram.
Kagiso Modupe plays Thami who has recently lost his job at a top firm following accusations of fraudulent activities. This is the last straw for his wife Noluthando who, fearing a drop in her standard of living, abandons her marriage, taking their daughter Lerato, played by Tshimillo Modupe with her.
Losing Lerato is currently available at Nu Metro Cinemas since its release date September 13, 2019 – so go support our local productions.
