@somizi South Africans can sustain industries. The real issue is illegal immigrants driving down payment rates and normalizing exploitation, confusing the middle class into mistaking slavery for entrepreneurship. 😊
Imagine if more and more new talent is given such opportunities. The industry would finally breathe fresh air, and thousands of qualified, unemployed media professionals would actually get a foot in the door.
Instead, we have a total monopoly. Reality TV host, Radio Presenter, Actor, TV presenter, MC etc.,all one person? It’s a bottleneck that suffocates the creative economy.
Recycling the same faces across every platform completely locks out the next generation. Diversifying the lineup isn't just fair; it's necessary to stop our media landscape from becoming completely stagnant.
Consistency isn’t a monopoly, it’s what strong brands rely on. Recognizable personalities build trust with audiences over time. There should be space for new faces yes, but replacing proven talent doesn’t automatically grow the industry either.
Same face on all TV channels… Anele Mdoda, give other kids a chance. On radio it’s you, on TV it’s you everywhere it’s you. We will never grow as a country while we have gate keepers like you and Somizi . SA media needs fresh voices, not the same monopoly year after year.
