#VatiswaNdara #Newzroom405
She stood up for herself. This won't kill her acting career, she's a great actress
Someone finally said it
Agreed!!!
@@thulimsimanga4281 you are everywhere I go girl. Redlive, owamie Hlongwane Entertainment....
@@kwindat.i.3560 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I am supporting SA content creators 😂😂😂 plus I don't have a TV and this is my biggest entertainment platform. If you know other channels please recommend 😂😂😂😂
@@thulimsimanga4281 watch pod cast by MacG. Is really nice. He interview celebrities.
I really do not understand people who are saying she is just doing this for attention, so she first have to be depressed then die nd during her funeral when people are talking we learn that she was broke and wasn't being paid enough for us to understand what she is crying for?
Let's look at how many musicians have died due to similar issues yet when she is speaking out you are making fun of her..
Thank you vatiswa for raising your voice #womanwithpower
she has every right to fight, Monique doing the same in Hollywood. I hope she doesn't get black balled
Hopefully and I'm loving how this issue seems to be trending, it's abt time those with authority do something about this
They need to come together and join a union and attack this matter together otherwise they are just blowing hot air
Thank you darling u speaking nothing but the truth
Theodore Lukheli so if u think she deserves that much as she claims why don't he start her own n y did she sign the contract ?? if it's not working y don't she shut her down from it instead of shutting the whole industry
The next coming generation of actors will benefit from Her voice 😢❤️
She knows what she deserves. She can't be treated like a normal actor she's a legend. Mabayeke urhuba aba
We pay for repeats on dstv but they don't want to pay for artists, this is a daylight robbery, stand for the truth my sister.
Sibongile@gmail.com Sibongile This is the most informative and awakening comment I have read in a while
Facts
The Ferguson responded and for repeats show they aren't getting anything ...check their open letter
@@tumelomothoa2860 if is so dstv is taking us for a ride, and don't have integrity in what they do, they make money out of one production, more than once, but paying producers ones. Is a shame.
@@muzimahlangu836 Yep ive it means they are also not being treated well by dstv ....so the industry is messed up
And we are so quick to laugh at these people go broke. Fight the good fight sis'Vathiswa
you can say that again, when they broke people everyone loughs😢
Vatiswa,vatiswa,vatiswa.....too much respect for U..
Your concerns are gonna be a breakthrough to some who r scared to raise their concerns....bayodla ngawe...U deserve whatever U think u worth...
She is a real Artist , You can tell by her appearances , the dress code, hairstyle and facial expression reflects a broken heart.
She is not only standing up for herself but for other artists, there is too much exploitation in in the industry. She is an advocate for many.
Yes, I wish to see other artists standing beside her hashtagging. This should be a movement, she shouldn't stand alone on something that's gonna benefit everybody else.
WE LOVE TO SEE VATISWA ON OUR SCREENS... BEFORE AND AFTER THIS
We're loyal 😍
I remember her role in "Home Affairs " this woman is a genius, she's really talented. They know that their stories will be watched if they have Vatiswa. I happy that she knows her worth, Phambili mama phambili... we don't want to loose you because of "Bazothini Syndrome" Khuluma mama✊✊ lokhu kusiza nabantwana bethu abafuna ukungena kule industry ukuthi bazi kahle kamhlophe ukuthi injani because all they see is this "glitz and glam". I salute imbokodo enjengawe!!!
Patience Nkomo was thy jhh uh k k
I have seen the energy that she puts into her acting, and i think she derseves more: actors in our country honestly get paid lower.
Vatiswa is a very well spoken lady. From how she is putting her point across it is clear that she is not being dramatic, she is really trying to get what she deserves.
Sadly without a united voice( and there wont be a united voice for a long time and production companies know this) talent will continue to be exploited because there is always someone in the wings waiting.
With any talent related career one needs a fall back to tide them over the times when work is not available. Have a fall back degree, use your fame to partner with brands, create your own platforms, sell stuff, etc etc.
I hope she is not black listed because she was brave enough to speak up . I understand why some may be afraid to stand openly with her because everyone has their own issues going about.But let this be a lesson to other talent that they need to diversify their streams of income so that they don’t always have to feel the pressure of taking less than what they feel they deserve .
I really hope the industry doesn’t outcast her after this!
Mbali & Mfundo if she was an actress from America she would be black balled for speaking out against the industry regardless if she is right. Monique a Comedian and Actress. She has not been able to get work in Holloywood close to 2 to 3 years or more. I stand by Monique because Holloywood is wicked and do not pay black actors or actress what they deserve. I hope this actress do not get the same treatment there.
I won't be surprised if the production houses start casting foreign artist because they are cheaper!!!..... SA government is failing us cc we feel your pain
I support this lady she is brave to stand up against this industry.
Now that's the spirit we need,women who stand up for themselves...I got so much respect for her
Lol, even when it doesn't make sense?
She's a very brave woman for putting her career in line for herself and others❤
Teachers must also be paid hai I am tired of R15000.!!!!!! I am a very educated teacher holding a masters degree and I am not paid for my qualifications and my hard. I am not a mediocre teacher I am self driven, a philanthropist (I stay for extra classes without being paid) and a glow getter!!!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍😍😍 amandla teachers......
A teacher of 14 years experience in 2016 she was getting R17k after Deduction. (sometimes it's differ from one sector to another) 🤨
nomkhosi zondo I totally agree with this one..especially since Parents are no longer allowed (legally) to spank their kids..which means more Mathata for u guys👏👏💪🚶
Nomkhosi Zondo you are a rare breed of teachers, however that's a debate for another day. I believe if you are the best in what you do then you absolutely DESERVE to be REMUNERATED. A lot of praise and love to such brave women who stand up for whats right. May our Creator grant you the best of BLESSINGS to your thirteenth generation.
I know teachers who earn up to R25 000, it's possible there are teachers that clock around 30K. What subjects do you teach because they influence your worth?
EISH, i wanna be a teacher too!!!
My heart sank as the camera first panned into her. She's hurting. This sucks.
I LOVE THIS WOMAN, MAM VATISWA NDARA, MAY THE CAUSE THAT SHE IS FIGHTING FOR SUCCEED!
In Africa we need support one another especially women.i support you Vatiswa.
Support people bse they have genuine grievances not bse u have the same immutable physical xteristics.
I feel for her. The most difficult part is that she's asking the minister to actually do some work.
Join EFF my sister. That is the only way your voice will be heard. Represent the artist in the movement. This battle is not for you alone.
Haha so true ey
But where is the free DATA the EFF promised before the elections?
Lol
Generations actors did that but they got fired
@@nomxhosapekani7966 That was if they won!!!!
She has spoken out,Now she just needs good support from the colleagues and trust me this can change just like that.
I know I’m off topic but the news anchor is so beautiful the way she wares her natural hair✨🌻.
agreeed
😂😂....eeey uyababa boy...yerrrrr.
@@nkosinathimanjiya279 mfethu we don't see this often phela on the mainstream news channels
She is gorgeous and I am into men. It is hard not to appreciate her natural beauty.
She must start her production house she is way to talented south africa needs her to teach
And that requires huge amounts of funds😢😢
She has made a name for herself I'm sure there are sponsors waiting 4 her move. She is way to good
She better do that
Look at Tyler Perry now,,legacy ,legacy
@@foodhomehealing4518 how much is lot money?may be I can contribute.
How I wish all the cowards can support you Vatiswa🙏❤️and if I may say, you're damn talented 🙌
I respect yu for being honest like... your English accent it's on point lady
The sad thing about it, no other artist/actors/actresses stood by her although they are exploited
It is that slave mentality and pretending to be in top of the world with Gucci, LV and Versace fake luxury life. Ja bass mentality is Killing the country.
@@mrsmett5512I think they are afraid to lose their jobs.
She’s so brave and l like it coz I’m a feminist ❤️✌️
Mandisa Tamia Moyo hello fellow feminist
Shaznewa hey hey 👋
I dnt care who says what,if u can stand out in public and fight for everyone's rights like that,I stan,even if no one hires u bt what u stood up for will help many generations to come in future and tht will be the fruits of yo struggle
she respects her craft ....now pay her handsomely
I work in the industry and this touches at the core of what we experience on a daily. We contribute so much as a team to ensure that South African viewers get a great viewing experience watching their favourite programs on television, yet the organisations we work for do not realise the value we add, and this is tough on us because we love what we do and absolutely love serving the nation. Something has to change, I support my sister and am proud of her for standing up for the rest of us. We support her.
I stand with you Ma ✊🏾 and I support you
i am glad that she did this, now we know that its not that actors dont earn much too and she just wants thing to level up. I LOVE AND RESPECT HER. #VATISWA ROCKS
Wow, she really makes a strong point! Big up my sister✊
Vatiswa, I hope your situation gets better... 😓
The enterviewer is very professional.
The lady in yellow looks beautiful with her natural hair. Vatiswa congratulations.
Tuli Franz Black women really do look beautiful in our natural her you right queen
I just love her, her dress sense is 🎆🎇🎆💣🎊🎊🎊💣🎆🎆🎆🎇🎊🎉🎊🎉🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I empathise with this, but it is a difficult situation. To change the very nature of the industry, yoh!
We don't remember the words of enemy but we remember the silent words of a friend. Martin Luther King plzzz minister
this lady is mentioning that after that contract she was offered she did not know where shes going to work again, my question is why is the production house suppose to be responsible for what happens after her contract finishes, why must they be responsible for her bills and kids school fees, we are all working everyday for peanuts to make life work, acting is ounce off and u hv to look for more jobs in acting. i dont understand the logic behind the accusations. R110 000 well its going to be taxed like any other salary why must the Ferguson be blamed for taxed money. haibo guys i dont get this. any company can give you an offer and it depends on their budget as well. if Vatiswa does not have cash to afford her lifestyle, why cant she look for more jobs> hayi this is shocking me.
Unlike the people that accept the peanuts they work for, she knows her worth and won't accept any less.. If you're okay with your peanuts, that's on you, she has the right to speak out hey.. Exploitation is exploitation whether people accept it or not
@@yasandisa934 , Tell me, It is fair play multiple roles that play in different casts years after and you don't even get anything in royalties from it?
Sisi you are very talented the production companies need not to say this they are always playing you on their screens, you deserve everything u are asking, its only fair, and just to think u only get one payment after doing all the shoots while 'they' are getting paid every time the shoot plays its crazy
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I'm proud of her,she's my role model and I love her for doing this. Mostly women in industries are being violated and if this is really a democratic country,I'm sure the minister and others will attend to this immediately
Black Girl Magic right here! "Know your worth" lesson High up!
One wish: May she work her way through her own production company or collaborate and show them how it's done. Tyler Perry situation.
I stand with Vatiswa!!
I also stand by her.....the work she puts on our screens and keeping us glued to our tv screens, her goodl work deserves much more support. Very talented indeed and very passionate. Let this be not the end good and hardworking careers
This girl is totally right for her rights..this is a day robbery
R100 000 once off? No certainty of income in six months, can you even a mortgage? 🤤
vatiswa ndara our future minister of art and culture ✊
I admire her courage to stand against the system and fight. God bless her!
There was no hope for a career as an actress until this women penned down the letter .. but the question is will there be implementation to all that was outlined in the letter?
I think so
If it was a white production treating a black woman lyk that, everyone and i mean everyone will be on top of it. Why is it that black on black exploitation is IGNORED
@@tloukgaugelo2635 not true. I am from America and here in America speaking out against Holloywood will get you less shows to appear in or maybe blackballed. Holloywood is owned by white men so they gave not really over the years listen to the ill treatment and less pay for black actors and actress and they are not about to start it now. If she was here she would be let go from the she is appearing on because they would want to distance themselves from her and call her difficult to work with. And most black producers if they want to stay on top would agree with tem. This industry does not really pay Scots or actress what black actors.and actress deserves. Some die with little money or broke.
I feel her pain shm yaz
God bless hope the minister does something about this
I feel her pain yazi
Sakhekile mina ngiconfused.... she mentioned that he cant afford a lot of things my question is who is responsible for her lifestyle kanti, is it the Ferguson who must be crusified for the taxed money,,,
@@lindiwebestlady she's not expecting them to take care of their expenditures. All she's saying that they go for months even years without jobs after shooting a whole season. And she's complaining about the working conditions... She wouldn't go this public if there's no issue here. We need to hear this woman's cry. Actors are exploited.
I love this woman so much....the way she spoke my lORD, We need this.
I have so much respect or you for standing up not only for yourself but other actors as well. I support and understand what you are doing.
Siyakuthanda Ma. Injustice for one is an injustice for all. i really hope a solution is found.
And she is such a good Actress
Siyabonga Sis' Vatiswa. As someone who is still looking to get into the film industry, I am heavily grateful that you have come before me and are fighting to pave the way for the future generation of artists in SA. I have major respect for you!
Is this really the industry I wanna get into..
This problem wont end until all artists unionize and start a guild of some sought. But everyone needs be for it..the exploitation will stop then.
We blame them for keeping quite and we blame them again when they talk!! WTF.... to be honest I was against her till I listened to this ... fight for your rights dimamzo
Big ups to u mama 4 standing up 4 what u believe is ryt✊🏿. U know ur worth. #IstandwithVathiswaNdara✊🏿👏🏿
Very brave. We stand with her!!!
12:20 Ehhhh guys she is close to tears !!!!
eish I saw that too
Why are they not getting the repeat fees
She is deeply hurting, you can even tell by her facial expression😢😢💔. Big up to Sis Vatiswa.
Honestly if you look at how much these media production houses make in comparison to the operation cost, then you'll understand that this is daylight robbery. Imagine possibly making R80000 plus for the year?
The zoom in makes it so emotional at the end...Like I could use that for the opening of a tv show or film.
Power to u my sister
ow my word,the talent she has is something else.I hope someone out there can really hep her out.and we do miss her on our screens.ALL THE BEST SIS V
doesnt she play on Muvhango? manage your funds right mama, u are a veteran, save and think and start your own and do it right. and pay you staff right. until then, u are not thinking business... u have not touched the expenses, venues, cars, and all costs involved in production. wide your horizon. look for other opportunities... other kids are on radio, tv, etc... times have changed. replacing you wont be a problem. real cold facts. ..
ure not even touching on the revenue that the production gets. shit is tough, theres abo Netflix, Showmax, that are killing DSTV... wake up
KiNG VLogs you’re right she needs to find a side hustle
Iconic
The courage and outing exhibited by Vatiswa reminds me of Monique who stood up for herself against Tyler Perry, Oprah and Spike Lee!
Hope that the minister does something tangible.
someones gotta say something
entertainers are working,and they are people who have lives like everyone hle
You will work in this industry FOR HOWEVER LONG YOU MAY SO WISH sis. Stand for your truth. You know what you deserve and you're putting in effort to get it. Never apologise for your talent. You are a talent and a powerhouse. I respect you mama.
Its so painful to realise how the industry is so crucial even for her after winning such a big award ...
This is exploitation, most Hollywood sitcoms and soapies earn per episode, and earn way more in one episode, than SA actors would in an entire season .... The Big Bang theory lead actors earned $1 000 000 per episode. And that was 24 episodes per season for 12 years..
MPHO MULADZI that is because here in America white actress or actors will get payed way more than black actors or actress know matter how good the black actress or actors id. Yes she would get payed if she was here in a show for repeats but still her amount payed would not be higher maybe even if she was on a # show.
@@2bcng Marylin Franklin are you sure you are American? Your spelling is a disgrace for someone that English is her first language. I am a Zulu boy English is my second language, "payed" no my American sister it is spelt PAID. "KNOW MATTER" no my sister, it is spelt "No matter. There is a reason parents send their children to school.
Majority of my people suffer because of keeping quiet.. Thank you sis Vee for addressing the nation about the devils of the entertainment industry.
No production company is gonna fork out 700k on a single actress.
This is similiar to fees must fall,it's gonna come out of the tax payers pocket. The arts industry in general is a high risk industry,instead we should rather raise awareness for ppl not to be one sided when it comes to career choices have a plan b. I promise u half of the ppl in corporate don't like their jobs but they do it avoid what she's complaining about.
I just love Mohlahlana I cant help it, 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🎉🎊🎉🎊💣🎆💣🎆🎇🎇
This is just an innocent question, are we as South Africans not paying a lot of money on taxes and have very little to show in terms of growth in the country??
Where are the ones that were showin up in stadiums in full ANC gear, campaigning for it😂😂😂yet their ANC lets everythin in this country tumble, only 1 party has intervened before to stand up for artists so far in a productive way. I hope this minister really comes through for her & the rest, but I doubt anythin significant will come from a representative of this government, cause this matter really seems big, as to the checks & balances that need to be engaged.
This thing is everywhere not only the entertainment industry exploitation is everywhere thankx for standing up my I respect u
Well done Vatiswa, fighting for the right cause👏👏👏👏
So all these shows that are repeating daily our artists are not getting a cent from them
Let's boycott them
Andizi mina i like thier production but im very disappointed
@@Go_Nkosi here in America actors and actress get paid for repeats but just like this actress speaking out against the industry there, there is some here who has done that and Holloywood blackballed them, meaning they can know longer work with them unless they do Independent work on their own and get not much. Look up (Monique) here on UA-cam. She was blackballed for speaking out against Holloywood and the ill treatment of black actors and actress.
I really do sympathize with this talented and eloquent lady, but what I fail to comprehend is why is she all of a sudden complaining now after she had acted in two seasons of a Ferguson production IGAZI. And she wants to earn more than other actors in the same production. Now where is EQUALITY? Is that not being conceited and placing herself high and mighty and "better" than her fellow thespians? I'm just a confused bystander.
i hope the Minister responds,these people should be appreciated.She stood up for herself ,the production houses should know they are lucky to have such talent in their presence
The people who would be happy with the R110 K are not actors nor in the entertainment industry.
You will abo Thuli who is a receptionist is totally against her wants and her daily experience
The pain in her eyes 😭😭😭OMG
FOOD HOME HEALING so visible..so LOUD!!
I saw that too 😭😭
Thanks for being Bold and standing up for your rights. This has to stop.. It has to.
Transparency is vital! But then our system way up from the presidency office is all about dodgy financial deals so I really don’t see any hope for change. Not in the near future at least. But I really hope for a miracle 😢
I salutes you Vat.Even they don't give you jobs but your fight will help others and other generation. Thanks homie. 👑
True south Africans let's help her to fight this problem
I can hear wat she's saying but i did she sign the contract??? and y doesn't she start her own so she can get as much as the owners get
I have said it several times in the past that the Scholars and Academics are underrated or undervalued...
Why a mere average footballer in SA is earning over 100k , is beyond me!
I like the response she gave about artists showing as if they have money etc. she says so much truth. Unbelievable that someone can just say the truth. They are barely surviving yet they must look good for the public just so they can avoid depression
This is so sad... the saddest treatment that the artists are experiencing...This is clearly pure exploitation...It's about time that the narrative changes for the livelihood of our actors.
Vathiswa is one of the greatest actress I know of in SA! We cannot afford to lose such talent.
They ought to be treatedffairly.
I salute you for standing up for yourself you deserve better you mam vatiswa ndaga and moshidi motshegwa fight this greedy producers and production houses pay actors and actresses we dont want to hear in the newspapers that they are broke and end up dying broke
