Sello Maake ka Ncube up in arms over Molepo's words

A FRIEND is allegedly trying to cool "boiling" tempers between a top actor and a theatre director.

Sources said there was bad blood between top actor Sello Maake ka Ncube and former friend, theatre director Mpho Molepo.

Yesterday Maa ke ka Ncube said he would not comment on the issue before speaking to Molepo.

"Yes, there is a beef between us but I will comment after I have met him and hear what he wants to say," Maake ka Ncube said.

Molepo refused to comment and referred Sowetan to Maake ka Ncube.

"No comment. Ask him what the problem is," he said before putting the phone down.

The rift between the two burst into the open at the funeral of Maake ka Ncube's son Mxolisi, who died in a car accident in Joburg.

Maake ka Ncube allegedly lashed out at Molepo for "saying bad things about me and trying to pull me down".
