Kealeboga, who plays Buhle Kunene on Youngins, also shared what viewers should expect from her character in the new season of the teen drama series.
She said:
"I feel like in this new season, which started on Friday, there is more depth to Buhle, and she no longer makes everything about herself, but she cares more about others."
Ayakha Nthunja shares insight about her role on Youngins
South African actress Ayakha Nthunja also shared insights with Briefly News about her role in the teen drama series' new season.
Ayakha said:
"In the new season, Amo has developed a stronger sense of self. She’s figured out how to assert herself and stand her ground while knowing where she fits in.
"In Season 1, she was often caught off guard, being pushed in all directions without fully grasping the dynamics of Olifantsfontein.
"Now, as Season 2 begins, she’s finding her footing and starting to understand how everything works."
Meanwhile, Katleho Mabote told Briefly News journalist, Moroba Moroeng, about being on Youngins:
"Youngins appeals to young and old because it provides insight into the realities of high school life. For older viewers, it’s an eye-opener to the challenges teenagers face, from peer pressure to the lengths they go to fit in, including risky behaviours like partying, drinking, and smoking. For younger viewers, it’s relatable and authentic, reflecting their experiences and struggles."
While Kadia Banyini spoke about his breakthrough role as Mazambane:
"Youngins has changed my life in a good way and helped introduce my craft to people who didn’t know me before. It’s a big platform and an incredible opportunity to tell stories that resonate with my experiences as a young person. The journey has been amazing."
