Veteran actor Alfred Ntombela has seen his fair share of divas in the 26 years he has been in the industry and he's got a pretty good way of dealing with them.
Speaking to Anele Mdoda on Real Talk with Anele, Alfred said that he had encountered many actors who were just looking to make drama on set.
"I don't want to give names but there's a lot of things that happen on set with people wanting to be a diva, who want to be known or show they are a good actor," he said.
Alfred said that the best thing to do in that situation is to walk away.

"(In those moments) I'm like; 'thank goodness I am not part of this scene. Let me go sit in the lounge until they call me again," he said.
He said that not getting caught up in "the school politics" on set allowed him to not be blamed for something if things got out of hand.
"Don't involve yourself where you are not supposed to involve yourself. Stay away. Someone will tell you that it is none of your business and they say it with a bad attitude. Just be yourself and be there to do what you have to do," he added.
