Because all of these performers are frequently heard praising the positive aspects of their jobs and the beneficial effects it has had on their personal lives, life in the entertainment business appears to be enjoyable and opulent. This is evident in the media as a whole as well as on its social media channels. The majority of the time, these celebrities are being exposed by others because many of them never discuss the terrible aspects of their lives. Sometimes, celebrities choose to keep their personal affairs private for fear that doing so may damage their reputations and their ability to do business.

Some of the adored and well-known personalities in the South African entertainment business have had a very difficult few months. This is due to the fact that many of them have been having financial difficulties and are having a hard time meeting their financial obligations because they are unable to get employment in the aircraft. Just a few days ago, South Africans learned that a renowned actor, Vusi Thanda, also trended after a video of him asking South Africans to donate money to him on his personal account because he is struggling financially. A few months ago, South Africans had to learn that Zahara the loved singer was struggling to pay off her home and nearly lost it and became homeless. Zahara is one of the most celebrated artists in South Africa.

And now South Africans have to learn of the passing of another famous person who was well-known for her portrayal of Queen Moroka on the sabc1 soap opera Generations. According to reports, Sophie Ndaba was unable to make her mortgage payments and lost her R2.2 million home. The Johannesburg high court ruled in favour of the mercantile bank against the actress.
