In the interview, See-Kay spoke about his personal life, achievements and he also touched on the politics that take place in the industry. He spoke about how the industry has turned actors into activists because they have to negotiate their worth.
Still, on actors and their worth, the star spoke about how the industry does not show respect to veteran actors such as Zolisa Xaluva who plays Melusi on the show. He said:
"Zolisa Xaluva has been in this game for more than 20 years so you can't have him at the show and have him stay for like four hours before he shoots his scene.

"He needs to be there, shoot his scene and go and rest. You can't let him stay for more than six hours and only have him shoot the last scene of the day."
When asked if that is what happens in the set of Gomora he said no, but he admitted that there is politics that happens behind the scenes.
He spoke about how writers kill off characters from shows solely because they can. He also touched on how these shows need to have new writers who bring fresh ideas. He said:
"I think producers and writers could come up with a strategy of bringing in recently graduated writers from film schools for new ideas and new stories.
"Because literally four shows in South Africa has the same writers."
Mzansi took to Twitter to stan the 23-year-old actor for showing respect to industry legends and for opening up about what happens behind the scenes.
