Amina Jack bags a degree
Smoke and Mirrors star Amina Jack recently earned her qualification from UKZN, holding a Bachelor's in Social Sciences.
The former Isibaya star, who played Thokozani Zungu, has expressed her relief on social media after this massive achievement.
On her Instagram page, the 23-year-old star encouraged her followers to pursue their dreams, regardless of the time it takes.
"Finally! I am so relieved. Be stubborn with your dreams no matter how long it takes. If you want a degree, go bag it no matter how long it takes."
The actress has since deleted her post on Instagram.
Speaking to Briefly News, the talented actress discussed the challenges she faced juggling her academics and demanding career.
"Some of the challenges I faced were definitely managing my time between working and studying full time. Both are extremely challenging and time-consuming as well, so having to juggle the two was difficult but not impossible.
"Also, having to work hard in both was mentally draining as well, so I had to take care of my mental health a lot since the burnout was real. I had to sacrifice and choose between the two when the time came, especially during assignment deadlines and exam season."
Diolan Govender explains the importance of education for creatives
Former YoTV presenter and star on Netflix's Miseducation, Diolan Govender, received a BA General in Media Studies and Anthropology from the University of Witwatersrand.
With the demands of the entertainment industry and the pressures of obtaining good grades, Diolan explains why it is important for creatives to prioritise their academic studies.
Speaking to Briefly News, Diolan believes that education can open many doors for entertainers, equipping them with the necessary skills to advance their creativity. Additionally, it can allow them to explore various avenues without any restrictions.
"There’s no doubt that education is an incredibly powerful tool. It equips you with knowledge and skills development and opens doors to a horizon of endless possibilities. While many creatives flourish on a self-taught path, a large number of successful people in entertainment have actively pursued an education. It goes to show that education can complement your creative journey, allowing you to refine your craft and explore new opportunities."
