As calls grew louder for South African celebrities to speak out about illegal immigration, DJ Speedsta chose a different approach.
As debates around illegal immigration continue to dominate conversations in South Africa, DJ Speedsta has explained why he chose not to join the chorus of celebrity voices.
The broadcaster and hip hop DJ said that he refuses to let social media decide when he should speak or what he should have an opinion about.
His comments come after weeks of online pressure that saw several public figures criticised for remaining silent during anti-illegal immigration protests and marches, including the national shutdown held on June 30.
Speaking on an episode of “Up To Speed with DJ Speedsta”, which premiered on YouTube on July 6, he reflected on the growing expectation that celebrities should respond to every trending topic.
