I’m a female producer and I’ve produced a film as my first production…and I was treated very bad by males I’ve employed trying to discredit me…that production was hell…spent most of the time with tears…but hey I’m still standing pushing my development channel and soon the channel to be on one of the streaming channel…and I’ve told myself that I won’t be a push-over 🤞🏿…to women out there never be discouraged by males who are trying to make you stupid
I love all the assumptions.... People have the assumption that if they fail or are not successful it's because of their gender (especially females). Remember there are many components to a successful career and unfortunately we just focus on gender because it gets the most attention.
By default women also inherit and adopt the victim mentality. A study was conducted whereby cosmetic wounds were placed on the faces of males and females. They were then told they would be interviewed for a job. Prior to entering the room they were told their makeup would be touched up when in actually the cosmetic wounds were removed. After the interview females reported that they were treated differently because of their cosmetic appearance (i.e the cosmetic wound), however objectively there was no actual wound.
In a time where we have unlimited access to social media and entertainment, why aren't women supporting women? Recently I saw an advert by a few prominent celebrities talking of the lack of support and financing given to women in sport. Yet the same female celebrities who have millions of followers are not even subscribed to the female team captains on social media and they have not been spotted at a single sports game. Stop blaming "Patriarchy" on everything because I bet things won't be different in a matriarchy. Women should start supporting women and stop forcing men to support women. Look at the beauty and fashion industry. The majority of clients are women but yet women wouldn't support an upcoming female designer. They'll rather support the male Italian designer.
I've been a scriptwriter in the industry for the last 16 years and Sonia is speaking facts. It's sad that some people in these comments speak from outside the industry and issue and assume we want to be "handed" opportunities and we don't want to work. From the dawn of Generations, look at the list of writers and you'll find female writers have been carrying this industry for years. We work very hard to make sure concepts are developed and developed well. Most of us now have taken our skills elsewhere where we can have equity and be treated justly. We live in a patriarchal country and if it wasn't for government involving themselves in most industries and making sure women have equal opportunity - ALL industries would be like the entertainment industry. It's simple: the industry is the way it is because it is NOT regulated so those in power easily get away with pushing preferential treatment instead of a merit based approach. It's that simple.
I guess this animal you call patriarchy is not that discriminatory when it choses its preys, I am why do I feel like I am in its belly like the rest of yall I tell you it might be a lot of things but patriarchy it isnt, if by patriarchy you mean men or patriarchy means a few men?
@@mashudumaluga1531 There's always a dictionary to consult...
Sonia Mbhele was beautiful that time in Generation her name Ntombi and now she is beautiful ♥️ and she was acting nicely ♥️ she got the Skil and talented.
I love Sonia’s energy and her complete honesty 💕
I love Sonia, shes a womans woman, winner through and through, reminds me so much of my older sister.
May the Lord protect and keep you Sonia, may he scatter his enemies in your life. May he publicly glorify himself in your life🙌🙌🙌
May your mouth keep being bold and honest, God sees your heart and He wil never let you be put to shame🤞
It's good to see there are black women working hard and are inspiring others to do the same so as to achieve good things in life 👏👏👏👏👏 👏
Instead of building their media companies on their own these women come to this industry to compete with men🙄 Gee's kusekude engqinibeni
Gorgeous Ntombi as always ❤… we are ready for the conversations President. bring them🙏🏾
These are conversations we need to be having because imagine we say we are in democracy all is equal but have such revelations. Fix Africa is going to bring these conversations and table them.
@MphoDagada Why we speaking English?
Fantastic interview, Mpho! I really think that Sonia should do a podcast on this issue. It is HUGE. There are so many elements to it!She touched on societal pressures placed on women, and as a crew member, I see how societal pressures and the expectations that society places on women make it difficult for women to progress in an industry that demands so much in terms of investing our time to perfect our crafts, constant learning, networking and also mastering the business aspect of it.
I have seen and experienced"boys' clubs", but there are also incredible men in the industry who have always and continue to support me.We have incredible working and creative relationships. I think that one of the hardest things for us women to deal with is the social pressures of "having to tick all the other boxes" over and above constantly perfecting and mastering my craft. I choose to prioritise perfecting my craft as a camerawoman, jib operator, videographer etc.I'm happy to be on set at 4am and work 16-hour shifts, including on weekends etc.I'm more than happy to dedicate my evenings, weekends and time off to do courses, workshops and passion projects that I drive and spearhead myself.However, that leaves very little time for socialising and things that other people have time for.There are only so many hours in a day.
I love her personality 😂 i enjoyed the interview ❤
I started Sista Bosso Magazine because of these issues, to give women a platform that they do not have to fight for. And guess what, Inmet men ALL THE TIME who try to convince me what a bad idea this is, some even go as far forcing us to feature them. It is seriously hard to be a woman, we fighy for roles in both relationships and work.
But one thing we must never do, is give up. Keep your heads up basadi, we are winning, slowly but surely.
And that right there is the problem! business is not a charity organisation , it is wild to me how u think women shouldnt "fight" for success and opportunities just like everyone else .
Men fight for things all the time the difference is we know life is hard and no one is gonna give us anything for free so we don't seat and complain about things not being fair , what's even funny is women have more programs than men to make them successful but yet they are still complaining . Men face ligit discrimination like jobs or position specificaly saying they are looking for women only , now that's descrimination but again we not out here complaining! Just imagine if there were jobs or positions looking just for only males ?! It will be in the news in the next morning with lawsuit and call for business to shut down
Now I am not saying there are no horrible men out there trying to take advantage of the situation but there are laws in place to keep them in check.
My first time watching this channel and I’m loving it. “Why are they serial killing? what went wrong? Who raised you? Who is your mother?” I winced 😂😂😂😂
These conversations about female representation in various spaces are flawed… It’s like women are supposed to be given equal power whereas men have to fight for it every day.
In this context of the video, no one is stopping women from being producers. But it takes a lot of work and investment. Question should be, do women want to be in those spaces? Are they willing to put in the work and sacrifice to be in those spaces?
If this was genuine then women would make space for men in nursing, modelling, humanities etc… and vouch for equality. But they don’t.
i believe we all have the right to equality.
@@MphoDagada yes we all have the right to the equality of opportunities but we don’t have the right to the equality of outcomes.
Couldn't have said it better
@@MphoDagadaequality does not exist,build a utopia and have equality......the notion that we all gonna have equal outcome in what we venture in is ridiculous
I always say this ! Most women want to just cruise in hard jobs where men have to fight.
And how do u tell if someone doesnt like u just bcs u are a woman or just bcs u bad at ur job !
I mean we all see women in healthcare, shoping tills ,call Center's and so on and no one is happy with their services but somehow everyone is the problem but them🤔
I pray that she succeeds❤❤❤
Yeah being a women aint easy to reach the stars, i have been working in male dominated manufacturing industry for years and it wasnt easy journey until i was recognised by fellow women who said i should be a women representative because I'm vocal & I call a spade a spade. The sad part is that you'll find yourself being victimised in so many ways 😢 but things are improving slowly but surely....Sonia is the voice of so many females out there ❤
Thank you for the beautiful episode 🙌🏽 #FixAfrica 🔥 #Podcast 🔥
I somehow relate, the funny thing is I am in a total different industry, than yours, but let's keep going. Jesus is the Lord 🙌
She is damn brilliant and fearless.
Male will also complain that they are not getting opportunities woman are getting. Like scholarship, Bursaries and all those benefits. Men work hard and expect no push.
Some jobs they don't prefer women they might not say it.belive me so many people got rejected cause they are women. Assuming they are not strong to handle the man work
Men don't complain, they act....
Aluta continue🤛🏾
As a father, I am concerned by nudity mostly portrayed by women on popular TV productions, during the so called family hour. This culture is not helpful to both integrity and empowerment of our daughters....it would help if veterans like Sonia can look to this issue...
We need her in this industry to speak for us as woman’s
Great interview, firm believer in Christ❤. We Rami Chuene Vathiswa Ndara etc, for the same unfairness
thank you.keep watching👏
From a producer point, Sonia's story needs to be out here in the streets... Mara actors have been telling and been black balled by the industry #VatiswaNdara... something has to give... head up mme Mbele.
I also believe the word has to be out there,the industry has to accomodate the woman in the industry .
Accommodate them in what way? They should be handed over all aparators for free just because they are women? They must work hard as everyone, What's so special about them?
But Vatiswa was wrong to try badmouth the Ferguson when clearly everyone seem to understand the problem stems from the powers that be..I mean look Sonia put her point across which can help the situation but I wish they could take a leaf from Connie's book, we do not see her complain but her productions are not running.She understand the nature of the industry and is not blaming anyone am sure she is working hard behind the scene to get her spot back.
So much is happening behind scenes till today women in some industries fighting to ensure equal access and opportunities. Let's #FixIndustries Let's #FixAfrica ❤ Sonia continue to pave for upcoming women ❤
I hear you, Sonia. Same as in engineering, it's a male-dominated industry. All women always have to prove themselves. #WomanArise
The very same men have to prove themselves daily... Should women be an exception to the rule?
Interesting. The issue of gender equality seems to be one that is brushed aside a lot of times and only come on show once in a while. We need these conversations.
@@MphoDagada or maybe we must accept that there is no such thing as equality if competency and meritocracy is the end goal.
Identity politics will not get us far. I have found that equality becomes the topic for positions of power not in the hard labour jobs such as mining, concrete constructions or even plumbing.
Women seem to think men are just accepted without question. Like men don't have to prove anything. And, that thing of having to work 2× as hard. Oh please. How do you even measure that. @@sethntota
That's because most women don't want to do engineering not bcuz of gender😂
💚💛❤️
I love her, this was so genuine of her ❤️❤️❤️
Hey hayi kunzima shame. Yhazi the way uthetha ngakhona undikhumbuza Zahara. Ja South Africa. Keep on moving Ntombi we love you girl
This is a great interview shame, I really enjoyed it, I love Sonia's energy 😊😊😊❤
After this episode it explains a lot cause when she it was visible!We need to raise capital to support woman producers cause Sonia is the bomb,it would be interesting to see a partnership between her and conny?We might have our own BET🙏🏿😇
I've worked in Agriculture industry that was founded by a brilliant focused amd hard working woman. I worked alone amongst men. There was only one gentleman who dislike me because of his insecurities but I was never intimidated. All I did was to maintain my position as the contract required me. Later on he was fired.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
You hold it down👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽
You never complained about being a woman in that hard space
@@pageiit7626 yep!!
😮 this is depressing! 😢 we must do better!!! 🔥🤞🔥 #SALUTE✊ to Sonya ♥️ keep pushing 👑 we hear you...! #StayBrave #StayBlessed
Thank you Nomthandazo.
❤❤❤Sonia
Great interview!Well done!
I love Sonia, can she produce something around the oppression of women in the production platform
She can
She should so we can all understand who is oppressing women, so far we hear talks that women are oppressed by men but we don't get to hear who those men are.
Thanks Sonia for removing a shadow in our mind, may the creator of Heavens and Earth protect you streangth.
My dear people. This is not the only industry that's still male dominated. Where have you been? 80% of all industries are male dominated, it's how it is. Everyone will tell you things have changed, and women are in meaningful jobs. Sure, but it's still a man's world 🌻
this is true
I like ♥️ your show Mpho God bless you 🙏
Thank you and keep watching because there is more interesting topics and individuals to be interviewed.👏🏾
W000w love the how inspiring
"Men Shake hands and it's done"
In ur mind if u sit down and really think about it , do u think any sober person will invest or give more to a project or business not bcs how good it but just bcs u have male genitals ...does that make any sense to u?
I'don't think men just wake up and get the job. They learn and later on, compete for the job. I'm a woman but i'feel like us women. Want this equality thing, to be served in the silvee plator. Is it hard to be oir own creatves, without depending on men? 🤔
go gal we luv you ❤❤❤
There are a lot of good men in the industry the big reason is most women don't want that kind of a job it they don't work at all but they choose that so it's not because of men it's a bad mindset that woman cannot take responsibility for their choices and actions so they choose to blame men it's pathetic
Acting industry its the same as the music industry, look what they did to zahara, 999 look what they did to female artists like Queen, AbaShante! Ja neh its sad! Like sonia, nestum from AbaShante said the same thing on a podcast that if you dont have faith and the believe that God is there and he will protect you, you will never survive this industry, its Really really sad hey😢
This the guy I cut is here today at how place salon 😊 Sandton city
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow wow wow thank you producer and guest. Reach out to the most remote of this country. Pastor's wives issues. Shoo. I did an intense research on this. Tx
The reason why most industry is male dominated is because men do the ground work and development. Do you now want them to step aside and let you take over. Nothing stops women currently from doing their own thing.
So instead of moaning,go set up yourself and reap the rewards of your hard work.
Yea eve tried to pull that move all those years ago that's why we're in deep shit
The reason why this still continues is because we are afraid to name the culprits, which is what we need to do.
My crush ❤
If I may ask, do "male" Producers get it easier or maybe this narration of 1/few female failures makes it look like it is true? From my perspective, definitely, being female is not a problem of being sidelined, there is more into it. Surely, there are more than 10 times male failing producers out there compared to female. And for that comes to probability and corruption relationships.
Truth is most people don't Want to work with women. Cause there's just too much that can go wrong.
Do u think they care about that ?! Women only look at success and think they all should be there!
This is even true when u look at the jobs they want equality in they don't want things to be fair they just want things to be easy for them and that is equality.
Bcs first they wanted equal opportunities and they got them now they want equality of out comes only in comfortable high paying jobs
Broes I'm sure you don't undermine coz eve on you're Facebook you answered any individual
35:16
Us and them, ne?
If you want equal power do equal job but be sure to loose your feminism your choice
Aluta Mama aluuta!
Cut the cake and make your way simple
Hell😮
That's how it's been from creation. Man NOT WOMEN IS THE DOMINANT CREATION. All through the Bible THE MAN IS WHO GOD QUESTIONS. When Eve was tempted and enticed Adam, God was angry at Adam. Many will not accept this BUT A WOMENS PLACE IS AT HOME. IF SHE NEEDS TO KNOW ANYTHING SHE SHOULD Ask HER FATHER OR HUSBAND. I am a Child of Christ and it His mandate that I follow NOT THE WORLD'S VIEW. I don't care what the world thinks of me. .. WHAT CHRIST HAS DONE FOR ME NO ONE ON THIS ENTIRE EARTH CAN MATCH.
She also did some work on her face, terrible what people do to themselves.
It's so funny that some women think they could catch up with men and what they have built.😂
It's really funny. After all these men wouldn't be without the woman who decided to birth them
She's white 😮
Because they're better at the job. Nobody owes you anything. Try and be better. Work hard. And maybe you'll make it.
If men don't want to work with women why must men be forced to??? People should be free to work with who they want to work with without it being a problem. Last time I checked women don't want to date men and prefer to be single, and it's their right and their choice, and Nobody is forcing them to be in love with men. Why then must men be forced to work with Women if they don't want to?? Give men the same rights and freedoms. Please.
Are you high? It's a free country, everybody should be allowed to work where they want to work, it's called a right. Choosing who I want to date is a personal choice. Men are also allowed not to date if they don't want to. Get off the drugs, please.
