THANGO NTWASA | Lack of support and fan expectations killed our ‘real celebs’ ThangoSays

I remember the first time I was disenchanted by SA celebrities. It was while watching an episode of. Assuming that the dance troupe of krumpers was the best in SA, having landed a reality TV show, the crew were going to have their first international battle with the infamous Jabawakeez.

So, it comes as a surprise that we expect local stars to take part in the vapid culture of celebrity. On social media, statements see many critiqued on whether they are “real celebrities”. This glitz and glam American concept becomes an unfair expectation of people who barely have the rights to their creative work. Simply put, there is just no money to be over the top.

The pressure put on celebrities is not limited to just materialism but also translates on a racial level. The arts and culture of white counterparts is self-funded by income streams that come from ma and pa, ensuring top quality productions and a healthy environment for those in power and a lucrative space for the smaller key players.
