@NkweMashamaite replied:

"Acting in South Africa shouldn’t be the only source of income for actors. It’s hard and difficult to live off acting only. However, when we see them doing their shopping at regular stores such as Checkers, Boxer, or Shoprite, it doesn’t mean they are having tough times."

"Guys, how many of you even pay TV licenses? How many are even interested in local shows? We simply don't have the numbers as a country to make sure our entertainers are well paid."

@T_sweetSA responded:

"At the peak of your career in acting, you make a lot of money, though, you just need to invest very well while still at the height of it."
