It is said that the relationship between Chuene and the Fergusons has been tense ever since Chuene publicly sided with Vatiswa Ndara against the Fergusons when she outed the couples production for unfair treatment and for underpaying actors.
Chuene joined the cast of Mzansi Magic's daily drama as Gracious Mabuza back in 2017 after a social media challenge between herself and Shona Ferguson.
Soon after her debut, Gracious become one of the shows most loved characters and was apart of some of the shows best storylines.
Although she is still shooting, it is said that her character will be killed off the show.
Chuene also thanked her fans for their well wishes.

For some weird reason this TGOM story doesn't surprise me at all 🤞 I sensed unhappiness when Rami tweeted about Vatiswa's issue... The Fergusons or whatever their surname is, should know that eventually the truth shall come out.
