@Bizlifestyle4 said:
"I Heard primedia pays well. Tbo Touch was earning everybody's salary, and he does is play those horns sounds."
@SbuMpungose responded:
"Indaba yama salary especially concerning what women make is awful. I made peace that no matter how good you are, you’ll never get paid as much as male counterparts/white colleagues. And trying to negotiate will always be met with a negative response. Kunjalo nje."
@MbuyiseloMafil1 commented:
"So it explains why people on radio are found all over, from voiceovers to adverts, it's not greed."
@iTouchCandi tweeted:
"I recall your show, Penny; it was one of the popular shows on Metro FM. In fact, during the midday slot, you had no competition. We often assume that you all receive generous salaries, so this revelation is truly surprising."
@NMakwela1 mentioned:
"Unfair payments still go unattended due to lack of fair pay scales."
