Uzalo actor Siyabonga Shibe says he doesn’t get paid what he deserves, he is not paid enough money.
Speaking to TshisaLive, the actor said artists are not paid enough in the crafts: “I remember I was on the taxi once and someone grabbed my hat off my head and said, ‘I know you! You are on TV, why are you riding in a taxi?’ I asked her what she did for a living and she told me she was a teacher. I said to her, ‘then why are you riding a taxi if you are a teacher? People don’t really understand that this is a career like everyone else’s. It is hard with that pressure.”
The former Gaz’lam actor says the industry doesn’t recognise their hard work. He feels like he’s working hard to deliver the best.
