Speaking exclusively to Briefly News during the media junket, Mabote shared how it felt to be part of the show, as this was her first debut on reality TV.
She said:
"Being on the show gave me anxiety, to be honest, as this was my first time on a reality TV show, I mean, I am known as a content creator, but it was also eye-opening as you will get to see the real me, and also my supporters are going to see my private life, but my kids won't be exposed to the show."
Kefiboo also mentioned her experience with other cast members and shared some good times and bad times during the show.
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."
The Netflix SA team also shared with Briefly News what viewers can expect from the upcoming season.
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.
