πππ story of SA. Those who make and approve casting decisions…it's not the actors themselves, actuallyπ. She's not the 1st, not the last. To go from brand to apparent actor. Big ups to her. Many like her, realise it's so easy to be classified as actor in SAπ https://t.co/u4ERXSwhq3

Even non actors voiced their views

Zodwa Wabantu just scored a drama series and film role, whilst there's a jobless graduate out there with a film and television qualification. This comes to show that it's not about what you know but who you know.
