Katlego Maboe is thrilled to have some of his colleagues on the show. Speaking exclusively to Briefly News, the star said he can't wait for Mzansi to enjoy the shows. He said:

"It was an immensely thrilling experience to have the celebrities there, not just because of course they are some of the most well-known faces in our country but they were going head-to-head against the banker to win money for their favourite charities.

"Because they were doing it for charity, you get the sense that they might have been willing to risk a little bit more to win more money whereas obviously with contestants there's a little bit of apprehension towards risk.
