Somizi went on to say that if people are so passionate about #OpenTheIndustry maybe they should leave their job as an example first. “I don’t wake up and go to Woolies and become an assistant manager and then after five I go present, or host or choreograph. No, if there’s no gigs, I’m screwed.”
“So what you mean I must give other kids a chance? Relax, sit at home?” he added.
The #OpenTheIndustry debate has been going on for a couple of months now, people were complaining that its time new faces entered the entertainment industry.
