Artists urged to be professional

Speaking during a workshop dubbed ‘Seipone Sa Modiragatsi’, intended to enlighten local artists on the importance of professionalising the business aspect of the entertainment industry, chief facilitator Thatayaone Namane said local artists must do away with verbal agreements and consider contractual ones.

“If as local artists we continue to do things the way we do them now, we are going to remain stuck in one place forever. We must ditch the old tradition of offering our services without legally binding documents. Let’s learn to enter into contractual agreements, which have been negotiated and agreed.
