Being utterly forgotten after a few months after releasing a few singles that are at the top of the charts is the worst feeling in the world.

Some local celebrities in the entertainment industry have tried to make a comeback but failed, while others have given in to the pressure and competition of the business.

 

 

 

 

South Africa’s entertainment business may be small, but there are plenty of new talent making their impact right now. It cannot accommodate all kinds of performances as a result.

Some celebrities are turning away from the limelight to concentrate on extracurricular activities like philanthropy and other interests.
