According to the actors, for actors and actresses to get ahead, they need to sleep with those at the top of the food chain.

Bobo hinted that he may have gotten on a producer's bad side and had opportunities blocked. Meanwhile, Sticks emphasised that there are actors who exchange sexual favours for roles:

"Let me tell you one thing: men are sleeping with other men in this industry. This is what made the actors from Zola suffer because we don't understand and won't take part in it.

"We know ourselves, and they know that. From Mapaputsi to Mandoza and GP Gangsta, their careers ended because they refused to do these things."

Sticks told TimesLIVE that actors have to offer their bodies to bag roles and commercials, saying it's why the industry rotates the same faces.
