South African rapper and actor Sjave appeared to have ignited the curiosity of his compatriot Hungani Ndlovu following his revelation about his earnings in two series in which he acted. “Zone 14” and “Shaka iLembe.”
A fan of the 1020 Cartel boss had asked him how much he was paid for his role in “Zone 14,” and he claimed that he was paid R10k per episode. Interestingly, another fan was curious about his earnings in a different series and asked him along the same line as well.
The fan wanted to know how much Sjava was paid for his role in “Shaka iLembe.” Sjava wasted no time replying that he was paid R70k per episode for the series. This revelation intrigued Hungani, an actor himself, who wanted to know how it’s done.
According to Hungani, that was the first time in his years of being in the film industry that he’s heard an actor being paid per episode. In response to his observation, another X user pointed out that the sum Sjava gave out as his earnings were unrealistic. You can follow the conversation below.
And how much for Shaka?

😂😂I don’t think that’s realistic how do you even cost that on an episode
Is it not on daily rate?— Drone Fanatic (@Bongani_RSA) January 27, 2024
At the time of writing, Sjava had said nothing about his “unrealistic” claims about his earnings. Whether he would address that is left to time.
