Actress Ntando Duma, a darling with her bubbly girl-next-door charm, was anything close to that when footage of her racially charged rant surfaced on social media.
Watch: Ntando Duma cusses ‘white’ lady
Duma, who stars the Fergusons’ hit telenovela The Queen, was on Instagram Live on Tuesday, chatting with hundreds of her fans, when an unidentified woman was heard, out of frame, reproaching the actress for parking in the handicap spot.
Visibly irritated, Duma retorted with snark and scoffed at the woman for having the nerve to confront her. On multiple occasions, the actress was heard making racially charged comments about “these white women who talk too much.” (translated from Zulu).
Here is the full footage of the altercation:

There's nothing racial about Ntando Duma going live. The ♿ parking is for the elderly and disabled, not "entitled celebs".
