Bits and Pieces From Zola's Interview

I liked Zola's interview on uMhlobo wenene Izolo elingapha kwelinye. And I like to share with you guys what touched me the most from his dliwanondlebe.

UBonginkosi Thuthukani ka Dlamini posed an interesting question about who controls the media.

There is an astounding number if not all of tabloids owned by White people with a majority of Blacks in their payroll ruining people’s reputation. Yazi nawe if it doesn’t bleed, it doesn’t sell. Before we denounce this brother as bitter due to his now 'faded' star and his whack ‘come back’ controversies, can we please Mzontsundu take into consideration what he said and not look at the messenger but the message.

Zola talked about Black Ownership of media houses and how important it is for us to own our production and not just be the face.

He went on to mention how most Black celebrities would be portraying le life of opulence and great riches #SkhothaneTendencies whilst they don't entirely own what they are selling.

 

Few weeks ago social networks were all buzzing with the story of tata Don Mlangeni who plays Zebedee in Isidingo. 'Zeb' apparently refused to recommend a reputable bank during one of his acting scenes, citing extortion.

 Tatu’Mlangeni’s ordeal validates Zola’s assertions on media. Most wouldn’t really come out and admit experiencing the same fate kuba they are afraid of being labelled as forward. Some think it’s the right way of building their resume`s.

 I have a dream of us Blacks supporting each other’s movement and seeing each other prosper.  If you are in a position to promote or share someone’s hustle do so with an open heart and see God blessing you in return.

For sure we all want to know what our celebrities are up to but we shouldn’t publish or even blog defamatory stories or twist the truth just to sell or have blog-hits but if you are tripping my bro your people should know.

VUKA DARKIE!!!!
