Entertainment commentator Mlungisi Mbokazi of TVblogbymlu shared with Briefly News the importance of social media for one's success in the entertainment industry.

He said:

"They say when it’s not on social media, it didn’t happen… social media has played a vital role in shaping how brands are perceived… many known personalities rely on social networks to influence and promote themselves… look at Skomota, lasizwe, and Faith Nketsi etc. they’ve made it big are well know because of YouTube, TikTok videos etc. Still, the catch with social media is that you sometimes need to have a backup team / just for guidance & support because something can easily get out of hand quickly.

"Reputation/ brand image can be ruined… social media has a significant influence. Nowadays, brands don’t even pay ad space to extensive publications anymore. Still, they rely on social media for engagement & impressions. Remember, social media is now! Everything is quick, and as I said in the beginning, “If it didn’t trend, then it didn’t happen."
