Thando Thabete joins the debate #OpenUpTheIndustry which has attracted series of tweets from both celebs and fans.
While some celebs tried saving their heads in the heated debate, few others take sides with the fans by announcing opportunities to help upcoming artists, one of the celebs who did that is Gigi Lamayne.
Thando shares series of tips which could help the upcoming artists and the summary of it all is that they should hustle and work hard like she did, it might also pave ways for them just like it did to her.
The radio personality’s first tweet on the debate was a big hit.
“I will be damned before I’m told to open up the industry!!! Open it up for yourself like all of us did!!! To this day…I audition!!! I’ve worked very hard to get where I am…and I’m only just getting started.”

My guide/tip is to open up your own industry and not to expect things to fall on your lap or put others down for what does come their way https://t.co/NuM7gQnPpm

A fantastic example!!! All I’m saying is artists are mere employees getting attacked for being employed or seeking employment. I can’t open up the industry coz I don’t have the capacity…what I can do is share my personal experience https://t.co/PddqAE927O

So how you get to auditions is that you get an agent who sends you briefs when there is work. There are many agents in SA with contact details on the internet https://t.co/LYL1LKxgmO
