'There's no way that I can slay every day. That's just unnecessary pressure,' says Sjava.
22 March 2019 - 08:54Sjava is determined to let young people know that they don't have to change to fit in.There's no doubt that Sjava is a multi-talented national treasure and despite his international fame, there's a couple of things he's not willing to compromise on, like staying true to himself and not being bullied to"slay".
In an interview with TshisaLIVE, Sjava explained that he is grateful to have entered the industry when he was older because he can see right through the bulls*** and meaningless standards of celebs. "I think it was an advantage on my part that I entered into this industry already matured and having observed what happens from the outside. If you are an artist, you are expected to never repeat clothes and to buy new clothes all the time ... But in reality that is my shirt, you know. Why must I be told how many times to wear it? There's no way that I can slay every day. That's just unnecessary pressure.
Sjava said he'd rather be known for repeating outfits or not having combed his hair than make headlines because he owes a designer a certain amount of money he can't pay back. He believes that external pressure to look a certain way because you are a"celebrity" is fuelled by"celebrities" who keep complying to it.
