"I knew I could never, like this can never be my life, I can never get into acting, like there is no way, because tell me why my call time was at 5 am, but I will get to do my scenes, maybe around 10 am or 11 am and I must be there the whole day. I am not sure how many times they going to call me," said Boni.

@lifereset_za revealed she received R100 for her role as an extra on Mr. Bones 2, which left many people shocked, while others could relate to her story.
