Karabo Ntshweng, a South African child star and 5FM radio presenter, has disclosed a secret about her previous position at YoTV.
Karabo Ntshweng, a South African media celebrity, recently trended on social media while celebrating her and her husband’s second wedding anniversary.
Musa Khawula, a controversial blogger and gossipmonger, recently released a video of the former YoTV star’s podcast interview on his Twitter page (X). She discussed how they were compensated at YoTV, despite their large viewership at the time.
She said:
“A lot of us didn’t finish YoTV, and we are not millionaires, and what crazy is that kids TV was so big and we had so many viewers, but the amount we were paid didn’t translate to the number of viewers, and I think that is was sad with our industry that you could seem like you are making bank but you are actually not.”
Musa Khawula captioned the video:
“Karabo Ntsweng opens up about the amount of money they made on Yo TV and being child stars.”

Shortly after Khawula posted the video on social media, many netizens flooded the comment section with their reactions to Karabo’s revelations. Here’s what they had to say:

“But others paid for their education, bought their parent’s houses. Maybe the last group didn’t earn as much as the group that had Carly, Sipho, Shade, cc and Musa.”
@Papi_Mphuthi said:
“And to be quite honest, YOTV had viewers for days; we would be glued to our screens just to check them out every single day.”
@NgoveniSbu commented:
“America has a population of over 300 million people in a developed economy…. The amount of money you can make in an American economy can never be the same money you make here in entertainment. You cannot compare the two markets.”
@Vuyi_theplug commented:
“Even if it was not a million, it was a lot of money for that economy… that if you made a good investment then, you would be fine today. 2003/4 things were affordable.”
@Pinkdoll_love mentioned:
“Damn….now I’m so curious to know the figures.”
@naomi_floww replied:
“She enjoyed now she’s complaining.”
