Solly Malatsi, South Africa’s Minister of Communications, is passionately fighting for fairness on TikTok. He wants the platform to expand its Creator Fund to include South African creators, who bring so much creativity and energy to global youth culture but currently miss out on financial rewards. Many talented South African creators, like Lasizwe Dambuza, face barriers that prevent them from earning money like their international peers. Malatsi’s push for change aims to ensure that African creativity is recognized and valued, paving the way for a more inclusive digital world. His efforts highlight the importance of appreciating and rewarding diverse voices that shape our culture.
