In a post via his Instagram account on Thursday, April 11, he wrote: “In film school, I learnt that in a situation like this, the producer would be arrested and the cast and crew that risked their lives too! It’s in your right as a producer to ask about your vicinity whether it’s right for them to pass that river and for the life jacket they should move at a slower pace or fvcking get a life jacket or shoot elsewhere!

“Whether yall like it or not the fault would be heaps on the producer, it’s her fvcking job! Ki Oloun saanu wa ma je ka sise! Hope yall know it’s not only jnr Pope that died sa!
