Zenande Mfenyana blasts Mzansi's entertainment industry

Meanwhile, Zenande Mfenyana ruffled a few feathers after she blasted the entertainment industry's obsession with social media.

In an interview on Power FM, Mfenyana hinted that social media influencers have taken over the South African acting industry.

The actress said it hurts a lot when someone gets a role just because of their huge social media following, not their talent.

She said that while she is concerned about the trend, she is not sure it will end soon because the entertainment industry is in a social media frenzy, and actors are asked how many followers they have at auditions.
