Former Outlaws actress Nirvana Nokwe has launched a petition calling for urgent reforms in the South African film and television industry after accusing actor Bonko Khoza of sexual assault on the set of Red Ink in 2023. Following her public allegations, Nokwe says her experience reflects a wider culture of silence, fear, and lack of accountability in the industry, where many creatives allegedly feel pressured to stay quiet to protect their careers.
Nokwe, who says she has already opened a criminal case and reported the matter to production executives, is now advocating for stronger safety systems, independent oversight, and trauma-informed training to better protect industry workers. She has stepped away from acting to focus on activism, with her petition gaining hundreds of signatures as debate continues online over her claims and broader concerns about safety in entertainment spaces.
