DURBAN GEN' FANS TROLL HIS NEW ROLE @Nduh_ManziniReplying:
Just feel sorry for those who actually studied for acting and those who are still thinking of doing it.
The entertainment industry is fu*ked and I don't think it's can be fixed, it has gone too far.
@kiabady 27mReplying:
The acting industry has been fu*ked.
They go for popularity more than talent.
The world's greatest actors went to school but here if you go to school you get ignored.
@officialshlelo:
People at acting schools are wasting their time there if people from the internet are taking their jobs.
The new way of doing things in South Africa is being popular on the internet, that's the paper to get anywhere.
@SimunyeSaba:
Durban Gen must just pull the plug end 9f season.
Yes they tried but ai khona they failing dismally.
That's why they always bringing people with lot of followers so their numbers could go up.
