In the radio interview, Cooper thanks Generations creator Mfundi Vundla for giving her an opportunity on Backstage a few years ago.
Cooper shares that in the radio interview, she ran into Vundla at a restaurant two months ago and told the producer that she owes him the thanks, the respect, and the honour for how her career has turned out.
"They auditioned dancers all over the country, they then didn't audition in Joburg and when they first called me, I couldn't do they job because I was touring Germany with a contemporary piece and then the line producer and another producer was calling me, eventually they got him on the phone to talk to me and try and convince me to do this job," says the star.
Cooper also reveals that the Backstage casting directors and producers didn't cast a Charmaine, and waited for her.
"So Mr Vundla deserves all the credit for that, and I'm so humbled and so appreciative that I can give him his flowers on a platform like this, especially since he was on your show not so long ago," reveals the former Scandal! actress.
