Rosemary Zimu Claps Back

Rosemary Zimu star of The Queen and new Netflix drama Savage Beauty has clapped back against media and journalists who try to pit her against other women.

Over the course of her career she’s been compared to countless other South African actresses and musicians and now she’s decided that enough is enough, saying in a recent YAZA South Africa interview that it needs to stop.
“When people compare women in the industry it makes no sense to me,” she says. “It just defeats the purpose of having so many women in the industry, we’re all different, we all have different things to share and we all have different methods of what we do, and that is a difficulty that just needs to stop. It’s not controlled by us, but everyone needs to stop comparing and stop trying to build beef where it doesn’t exist.”
