She said:

"I was being myself, and I know most people are not going to like what they will see on show, but I came into this as myself, and I portrayed my true self. It was also quite difficult to navigate when I started off, you have so many personalities that are quite big and having to coexist with all of them sometimes can be a bit of a challenge and it was a rollercoaster because emotions ran high as some were fighting but I have tried to put myself in calm situations were I could."

Mpho Mashigo also shared with Briefly News what viewers can expect from the upcoming season on behalf of Netflix.

She said:

"The most epic season yet of the SAFTA-winning Young, Famous & African returns, with season 3 launching on 17 January 2025. This new season promises eight episodes that deliver more jaw-dropping drama, grander parties and explosive exchanges. In this latest instalment, the circle of friends and foes expands to welcome celebrated South African influencer Kefilwe Mabote and Nollywood megastar Ini Edo.
