But Thandy has apparently been warned about voicing her opinions, telling listeners of Massiv Metro that after an article was published where she spoke out against the exploitation of artists in the acting industry, she received warnings that she would be blacklisted.
"Because of that article, I got calls from people asking 'Do you want to be blacklisted? You are going to get yourself in trouble!' I don't live for the industry. The industry needs to live in me. Until we get that right, this industry will never grow."
She also won't be exploited and told Sowetan last year that she turned down a few offers because producers were offering her "peanuts". She even turned down an offer from a company she had worked with previously.
"They called me four years after our first gig and then wanted to offer me the same rate," she said. "I obviously declined the offer. That was insulting to me, you cannot do that as if the cost of living is not rising."
