Media personality Minnie Dlamini-Jones has taken to Twitter to express her frustrations about the South African entertainment industry.
The "Becoming Mrs. Jones" star said that the current lockdown South Africa is exposing the industry for what it is.
"This lockdown is truly exposing the entertainment industry for what it is. Underpaid, undervalued and over hyped PR stunts!!! Things aren't what they seem... We need to do better as a whole. Clout doesn't pay the bills", she tweeted.

I've mentioned this before. Some folks are simply living way beyond their means but still want to stunt on others or spew remarks on how everyone else should manage their money.
Too many peeps are funding their lifestyle with a ridiculous amount of debt. But, to each their own🙌🏾
