Education is the key to success and everyone needs it. We need education to survive the various fields . Most celebrities in South Africa are educated and still furthering their studies.
While reading the news, I came across an article published by The Sowetan Live on 05 September 2012. The article informed me about Thulisile Madihlaba's graduations at the University of Johannesburg read more. Thulisile is well-known as Chomee, a young and talented dancer and musician in South Africa. watch video

When reading the article, I got encouraged. I realised that celebrities are not just school uniform donors but they also have a desire to have their own qualifications. In most cases the media frame celebrities as people who only donate uniforms to schools.
I always thought about getting involved in other activities while studying. Well it is possible as chomee achieved her diploma after a long four years of her part-time studies.
The media present Chomee as a celebrity that understand building relationships with her fans because The Sowetan Live on the 07 October 2010 reported that Chomee offered ten bursaries to tertiary students that were selected from a deluge of letters that followed as a result of their invitations during her birthday party.

She demand what she deserve
Educated people have their own ways of doing things. Another article published by The SundayWorld on the 24 September 2012 states that chomee quits over miniscule pay. The content of the article made me realise that educated people provide service on an understandable and fair payment read more
im glad that thulisile has something to fall back on when things are not working out in her music career.this is such an inspiration to her fans, big ups thulisile.
ReplyDeleteYes something to fall on when she rerite from dancing and singing because music will not make it in the long term because of paricy.
DeleteYoung people who want to be in the Entertainment field mmust uderstand that this field is full of lot of challenges and sometimes things may not work out for you, so it's better for them to study and arm themselves with tertiary qualificatiin in case things do no work out for them within the entertaiment.
ReplyDeleteYou have a point right there Lucky but because of excitement and fame young stars turn to forget about education.
DeleteIts amazing to see how the number of celebrities who obtain tertiary qualifications keep on increasing year by year, for example the likes of Bonang Matheba, Katlego Dankie, Jimmy Tau and more. This sets a good example to those who view them as their role models.It further show the young celebrities in the making out there, that since talent dissipates with age one needs the skills and knowledge acquired from education to manage whatever fortune he/she may have made while active. In that regard I therefore say thumbs up to thulisile!!..
ReplyDeleteOther celebs undesrtand the importance of learning unlike those who drop-out because of recording the first music video.

ReplyDeleteWe really need prominent people like chomee who are educated so that people will have interest to follow their steps by going to school.
ReplyDeleteYes if we have people leading our nation with eduacation many situations can be fully solved.
DeleteI'm glad that there are people out there such as chomee who felt the need to shape her career and invest by providing bursaries to ten students. I hope others(prominent people) could do so and help those who cannot afford to further their studies and be united always.
ReplyDeleteGiving out of a good heart is one thing that we are all taught to do. Chomee believes in sharing as she opend her heart to give bursries so that of people who do need them can make use of them.
DeleteIt is very inspiring to see people like her doing a great job for them and others but i respect what she has done.
ReplyDeletePeople like Chomee should truly be respected because she has set a good example because a young star out there might be inspired by a celeb's graduations and decide to dwell in education.
Deletea job well done by chomee, i really like the fact that she has chosen to invest in a more important thing which is education, because when you give a child education you give him/her something that no one will ever take away.
ReplyDeleteTrue Siphokazi because everything can go away but education will never leave as is something running in your blood.
DeleteAtleast chomme has something to lean on when the entertaining industry fails to give her all she wants.before i read this blog i had a perception that local artist like chomme they do not need to be educated all they need is a natural talent,if you are good in dancing then you should danc for a living,but now i see my perception as total changed
ReplyDeleteNatural talent is one thing needed but this days is difficult to work with talents only because companies need something in black and white.
DeleteThis situation of Chomee shows us that education is the most important tool to have. The industry is challenging and constantly changing threfore you do need to have something to fall back on. Celebrites must also remember that they are not getting any younger, therefore education is a good investment.
ReplyDeleteEveryone needs education to choose what they want and where they want to go.
Deletei am so proud that that some of our celebrities are studying and improving their talents and skills because being the industry may not be great for them, this also creates good image for them as it shows thir fans that they should study
ReplyDeleteCelebrities should study because many young people are looking up to them. And they are educated they will be able to sign contracts with understanding.
Deletethose who study know about the importance of educatin in there life, more sepecially those famous celebrities they know that what they doe can end anytime so they what to have something to fall back on when times are hard
ReplyDeleteTrue anything can happen when you working in the entertainment so Chomee did a good thing for her future.
DeleteWell done to Chomee for graduating.by this she will motivate other celebrities that they should'nt just rely on their entertainment bizz but also engage themselves on educational programmes. This is something they can fall back on if they dont succeed in the entertainment industry.
ReplyDeleteyes she has set a good example so lets hope many celebs will take it from her to continue with their studies.
Deleteit is good that one we look up to they consider the important of school, most celebrities they take life lite end up broke because of lack of knowledge
ReplyDeleteIt is very good to study because celebs have a great influences in young people's lives.
DeleteI think a lot of celebraties are educated, most of them just do not have formal education because they go to acting and musical institutions. why do people diregard that as education?
ReplyDeleteI think education is everything that one gets knowledge or skills so acting and Music is good but you know entertainment industry is difficult so they have to try other things.
DeleteFame must be accompanied by education in order to have something to fall back on. A success is not determined by the qualiy of education you have but the attitude, Chomee has a positive attitude towards her career.
ReplyDeleteBut sometimes is hard to be successful without education so it is an advantage to have education.
Deletelet me say big-up to chomee, she's one of the successfull celebrites.the education she gained will help her in improving her career not only as an artist but as a business.
ReplyDeleteYes it will help her choose what she want to do and when to do it.
DeleteChomee is truly an inspiration, I think we tend to misjudge these celebrities and think that they are unable to do inspirational things. Otherwise I am very happy for Chomee and I also like the way she behaves herself.
ReplyDeleteYes Chomee is an inspiration to us all and she has done something to fall back on after her music career.
DeleteIts always good to have back up, especially for artist, im proud of Chommie, she sets a good example for upcoming artists.
