Minister challenges TikTok in South Africa

Communications minister Solly Malatsi has told TikTok that it should expand its Creator Fund to South Africa, which would allow local creators on the platform to earn an income from their videos.

"South Africa has over 17 million TikTok users and trendsetters shaping global culture, making it the ideal place to expand TikTok's Creator Fund in Africa," Malatsi said.

I wouldn't call Grindr social media...it's not media and the social aspect isn't very social unless it's a couple looking for a 3rd

"SARS cracks down on TikTok creators"

Aren't the "creators" supposed to be sending each video for Commie approval before posting it for the world to see?

 

[ToxicBunny]

Can't we just be like Trump and ban TikTok (even though he didn't manage to get it right)? Then the "influencers" can try find a real job.

 

[Swa]

No matter what people think of Tiktok, I also don't see the rationale in deliberately discriminating against people.

 

[satanboy]

It's garbage.

 

[DTBA]

More tax?

 

[ShaunSA]

Saffers on Tiktok are shaping global culture?

Are they running "Gone in 60 seconds" vids?

We could wish they were doing the Tidepod challenge.... might reduce the herd a bit.

I think there are more South Africans on TIK than TIkTok.

End result is largely the same... brains made of mush.

 

[Polymathic]

Is amazing the amount of content South Africans are putting out just for clout, some of spending good money just to end up 10K views.

 

[Jean Claude Vaaldamme]

Don't we actually need more SA advertisers on TikTok to pay the creators? I mean the money has to come from somewhere and I see very little SA ads in TikTok.

Carl N would be very happy but those swiping wouldn't be.

I actually though this was already in place?

 

[Sworaxe]

Based
Local content creators glazed by TikTok, will be straight bussin for real on God.
Local chads will be able to Rizz up their Gyat with all that TikTok funds.
Maybe then they could afford Grimace shake with prime berries mixed in.

More local TikTok broccoli hair brainrot please.
