Repeat after me, Minnie: I am not an actress…Â
At least by now we can all agree that Cultural and Creative Industry aka CCI needs a serious revamp. We can also agree that talent alone is not enough. Ok, Â
today Shwa is giving local artists lessons for free. Now listen carefully, everyone that matters:Â
The industry is not a dumping site. It’s either you have talent or not. If you have dololo talent, go find a job. Talent must be coupled with a relevant qualification. Talent and experience don’t amount to a qualification. Arts schools are there for a reason guys, make use of them.Â
 Alright, let me break it down, Minnie Dlamini, my darling, you’re good at hosting events but definitely not an actress. I don’t even know what you’re doing in the film industry. Lunga Shabalala, my son, you’re definitely not an actor. Â
Try modelling or stick to presenting. The same goes for you, Thembinkosi Ngcukana. You’re definitely not an actor. Kuna that thing, that just puts Shwa off nje. Â
You’re too mild and flat for acting. Moi can tell you didn’t do theatre… or ndiyaxoka?Â
