Don't let fame get to your head, says Shona Ferguson

It's no secret that Shona Ferguson is one of Mzansi's most successful actors and entrepreneurs. And he has some wise words to dish out.

The veteran actor, who has been in the industry for more than a decade, has become somewhat of an 'authoritative figure' in the acting world.

He has also learnt many invaluable lessons, which he has decided to share with young actors.
