South Africa slams DJ Zinhle

Many people did not appreciate DJ Zinhle's comments about unemployment. Netizens debated whether or not the musician had a point. Read the comments below:

@afroghanga said:

"When they die broke, we get blamed for not celebrating them enough nor supporting them enough. But the first chance they get, they insult us. Disgraceful."

@Valenda_Minnie wrote:

"Where we gonna learn those skills, because y’all don’t wanna give us chances? Five years' experience sithathephi?"

@ISephara was upset:

"It shocks me each and every single time I hear celebrities speak. The level of ignorance and being so out-of-touch with reality is mindblowing. Worse, those interviewing them in the studio/podcasts are just as clueless so celebrities always get away with nonsensical statements."

@pureartvisuals commented:

"We need to start these celebrities, they forget they are where are today because of the people."

"But she’s right, asifundanga mos."
