Stages of unemployment 😭
Delusion – You’re convinced you’ll get a job in no time. You’re already planning how you’ll use your money once you get a job
Disbelief – You genuinely can’t believe you’re still unemployed.
Acceptance – “It is what it is.” You’ve made peace with it… to the point where even people sending you job links starts annoying you. 😭😂 here you just want someone to say come start on monday
As much as the poor are suffering under Cyril atleast we know Politicians are also having sleepless nights from the Madlanga Commission 😭nobody is happy.
This is not the time, but allow the latitude to be disrespectful & inappropriate:
The BEST service the nation can give to the memory of Seputla Sebogodi
is to relook at the laws governing how actors are paid.
This is a strange issue because, on the face of it, it's a simple issue to resolve. But the government has been unable or unwilling to fix this issue since they took power more than 3 decades ago.
They are quick to issue state funerals and publish press releases of condolences but simply will not fix the most important issue in the lives of actors and talent: right and appropriate PAY for their skill and labour.
It's the same pattern we see over and over again: They light up the screen for years, bringing joy to our homes and then struggle or leave this world without dues.
So, why does it keep happening?
The film and TV industry in South Africa is built to “pay once”, and that's it.
Sign the contract.
Do the work.
Get your money upfront.
And move on.
No matter how many times they rerun your episodes on broadcasters’ channels or even sell it elsewhere, you, the talent that made the show come to life, get little to nothing extra.
Think about that: No residuals like the big overseas setups. I am told that standard contracts usually buy out all your rights forever.
Said differently: the producer, or most likely the channel, owns it completely.
And if you speak, the powers label you “difficult” to work with.
So our laws are failing actors. Yet, these actors are known to the politicians who pretend to care but will not fix this issue.
All systems exist because someone benefits from their design.
So who benefits from this system?
From a distance it looks like the broadcasters who are stacking ad cash from repeats.
Then the production houses licensing the same shows again and again. They keep the profits separate from the talent who carried the story.
It's a helluva setup for them, not so much for the actors later in life.
There was that whole copyright push with the bills finally giving actors a real share in the future. It looks like most of it is moving ahead.
Good news. But for too many legends like Seputla, it's already too late to matter.
The sad fact is that talent gets you famous, but ownership and good contracts get you lasting wealth.
We can't keep seeing our favourites die paupers.
The faces and talent sold for a once-off when the channels benefit in perpetuity.
How many more of our people are we going to watch go through this before society demands better?
For me, Seputla will always be Ike from Suburban Bliss. He killed that role.

As I stated earlier, ActionSA WILL NOT support the adoption of the report by any other method.
The draft report does not reflect the evidence before the Committee
ActionSA's position is that the draft report has been materially WATERED DOWN. It softens, qualifies or omits findings that the evidence plainly supports, and in several respects it reads as a summary of proceedings rather than a determination on the facts placed before the Committee.
ActionSA remains committed to a report that is credible, defensible and worthy of the seriousness of the allegations this Committee was established to investigate.

A plea for South Africans who are getting jobs. Please, guys, please go to work. A hangover can't cost you your job. Give it your all. Some people are using their own money to fight for companies to hire you; the next thing you know, you don't show up. If you don't like the job, fine, work while you apply, but just give it your all.
❗️❗️❗️JOB ALERT. Please RT🙏

Do you understand why Palestine is in the state it's in today? Outsiders arrived as immigrants, settled permanently, took control of the land, and gradually displaced and oppressed the indigenous population. Exactly what we are seeing right now in South Africa.
They prepared 33K camera and drones to protect foreigners
But they can’t do the same to fight the gang violance in Cape Flats and crime in South Africa…
Umsunu we Government lo… 😭😭
