Mzansi actor and television host Siv Ngesi has bagged a deal with Adidas. Siv recently experimented with drag and created his alter ego, Sivanna.
Fans had a mixed reaction to Siv bagging the deal, others just felt that it's not fair because drag has been around for a while in South Africa and hasn't received much recognition.
Siv took to social media to share that he's got a deal with Adidas through his drag look, Sivanna:
"Sivanna is a month and 2 days old and she’s already shooting with @adidasZA @WeAreIvyPark, #icypark, #adidasxivypark," said Siv.

After he posted the snaps, people took to the comments to let Siv know that although they were happy for him, there's a bit of a disconnect in the LGBTQI community. Take a look at some of the mixed reactions below:
@JayInTheWorld commented:
"I love you, but uhm, this is the definition of taking up somebody else's space. One month vs. Lifetimes of work from revered SA queens - it doesn't sit right."
@TumishoMasha said:
"She’s killing the game! I need to get her number bro she needs her own show."
@lukeindiaramos commented:
"This not even about a straight man "dressing up"! This is about "taking space from working queens who make drag their job and life's work."
@ChesterQha_ said:
"Siv has been a fierce ally to the LGBTIQA+ community. Sivanna started as a celebration of that. I'm not mad that Sivanna gets paid, make up is expensive."
