In a previous report from Briefly News, Mayeza was interviewed by Showmax, where shared how much he understood the cattle-stealing theme of the show as he is a village boy who grew up close to the border where he was a herdsman.

"I am a rural boy from the mountainous areas of Lesotho, who is used to riding horses and donkeys for they are the only means of transport there. I grew up in rural areas, where people would steal cattle from Zulu land. I know that story and have seen it with my own eyes."
