NOXOLO MATHULA: ‘I UNDERSTAND MY TARGET MARKET’
The Durban-based actress Noxolo Mathula reveals to Daily Sun that she gets asked by Uzalo viewers if she doesn’t get paid enough as Lilly on the show.
“I’m often asked why I am on the streets selling hot dogs while I am a TV star. People don’t understand that times are tough. I’m not selling hot dogs on the streets for fun, but It’s one of my side hustles. Running this business on the streets doesn’t mean that I’m not paid well at my TV job. But I understand my target market, which is people on the streets. We must stop looking down on each other, and rather offer support. A single salary can never be enough, no matter how much it is.”
Mathula adds that she even sells hot dogs with her team at taxi ranks.
“I think it’s better to have this kind of side hustle when you are still relevant in the industry. People are still watching me on their TV screens.”
