The production team initially cast for anyone who spoke an African language other than a South African one.

So it was Nigerians, Congolese, Ghanaians, Zimbabweans, and Malawians, it was not easy and we all had to audition in our own home languages.

I made it I got the role of a lifetime as an African actor here on South African television, this is a huge achievement and I would like to believe that I have made it.
