According to my understanding the term celebrity means someone who is celebrated, a person one can look up to and aspire to be like one day. Yet once a person appears on TV for a certain period of time, people are quick to call them a celebrity. I have found that the term celebrity is loosely used in South Africa ,well perhaps in the rest of the world as well.
For instance look at Khanyi Mbau, what is she exactly well known for? Firstly for being a gold digger and chasing after rich married men, secondly for calling herself the queen of bling. I fail to understand what the whole fuss is about her. People who are this disruptive in our society shouldn’t be given a platform to manifest the way they live their lives if it won’t build our communities.
People who should be called celebrities are people who are respectable and are good examples for the youth of our country. These are the kind of people who we should be celebrating each day. I am trying to think of a person I can call a true South African celebrity. Why is it so hard… am I not thinking hard enough?
We are rather surrounded by people whom we can't ideally call role models. Society needs to stop and think carefully about lableing just any one a clebrity.
