Many women have spoken up about how they feel like they're constantly being compared to and are competing against other women within the industry.

It's now also hit closer to home with Lerato Kganyago speaking up about the same issues happening in the South African music scene.
While the DJing scene is still very much predominantly male in SA, there has been a steady and consistent rise of female DJ's over the last few years.

She then further explained by referring to a specific situation, but chose not to name the other DJ involved.
Instead, she once again mentioned how women in the industry should work together, and try to support each other, because there are enough gigs and other opportunities to go around.
