Aged 24 at the time, Nokuthula said was treated as if she did not know what she was talking about, like she was wasting everyone's time.
The star took to Twitter this week to join the conversation around harassment and recounted a time when she was working with an actor who would lick his lips and make inappropriate comments toward her when no one else was looking.“I refused to work. I went to the studio. Block. 'Action!' - I'd sit instead,” she said.
Still she stuck to her guns, insisting that she would not work on the production if she was not protected. Nokuthula said she has no regrets about her decision, and encouraged other women to break the cycle of harassment by speaking out.
