DJ Tira, DJ Fresh Encourage Local Creatives

The entertainment industry has long been halted since last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. DJ Tira and DJ Fresh tackled the topic ‘Life is inside and outside the COVID bubble’ during a panel discussion.

Thato Sikwane also known as DJ Fresh said one thing COVID did in the entertainment industry was making them realise that they are not ready for emergencies. “We have had discussions like if you were to lose your job today, do you have enough money to last you three months at least, while you are looking for another job?” he said.  He said people were not prepared for a situation that will last beyond those first three months without income. DJ Fresh also said for a person who relocated to Johannesburg, South Africa in December 1994, he has been fortunate to have a long period to establish himself.
