Sparky's interest in helping the youths hone their artistic potential comes from his individual experience and mistakes in searching for his footing in the industry. During an interview, he said:

I regret the rush – rushing to get a certain role or be the lead – because now, in retrospect, when talking to people about the roles I've played I realize those are the roles that people remember, and back then, I thought it was a small role. But that drive elevated my commitment and shaped my work ethic. I do wish I could've enjoyed the early roles more and trusted the process more.

Sparky is not relenting on his laurels in the movie industry and has now moved on from his popular role as Siya Phakathwayo in The Estate to a newer role in Redemption as Zwelakhe.
