@zola_hashatsi A clear plan and self awareness can get you to an even better place than before

[VT @VusiThembekwayo]

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.

I’ve never seen a goalkeeper kick as many balls as the English one. Can’t score one goal and defend it for an hour and only when they lead, you want to move forward.

@popcultureshor1 @iAMKINGBEECH @Badguy_chunli18 fabricated or a cheap album 🤷‍♀️still didn’t make money, just obsessed with matching Nicki’s numbers even when they’re losing

@OfficialBongile so dramatic even in real life 🤣

[Machiavelli Bot @UnmodernmanBot]

You don’t need to be cold. Just inaccessible. Respond slower. Reveal less. Be polite, but unreadable. When people have to guess how you feel, they start treating you like someone they can’t afford to miscalculate. That’s how distance breeds influence.

Ramaphosa said no civilian must as for documents from foreigners., the communities said "hold my beer".

No they go to police stations, fetch the police in their personal vans and take them to foreign owned businesses and residents to force them to make arrests and to expel them from the buildings 😂😂😂🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

The cops are now complaining 😂😂😂

[diego @diegozvd]

her mind, nicki really said

“Imma keep it moving, be classy and graceful.
I told them there’s no friends in the game, you ain’t learn that yet…
People will love you and support you when it’s beneficial.
I will forgive, I won’t forget but imma dead the issue.”

“If you’re a Kanye West fan, you’re not a fan of me. You’re a fan of yourself.”

There’s more to this quote than most people realize.

Nicki Minaj has been in the top 10 of Global Spotify for the last 4 months and she hasn’t released new music in 2 years. What a fucking legend.

Uncle Waffles has played Afronation, Coachella, headlined her own show in NY, and is currently on a world tour while opening for Asake.

She’s bigger than some small niggas who are still in Joburg South.

Switzerland equalised against Argentina and then barely a few minutes later referee sends off Embolo for diving. I have never seen this type of luck before. How does Argentina keep getting away with it?
