"I've always wanted to be part of the show, but the opportunity never presented itself. "I told myself that one day, eventually when I join it I want to be power; and impactful because I love and respect the show, It is one of the shows that groomed us and inspired us to be who we are today," she said.
Khabonina will portray the character of Oby who is a diplomat and it seems viewers will be left mesmerized by her acting skills. She said she has been gearing up for this role for a very long time now.
"I've been preparing for this role for a very long time. She has a certain power, which makes her exciting to play." The actress said she has shifted away from the industry norm of actors mimicking a character's accent that is from outside of South Africa.
"I did a lot of research and finding ways to make her relatable. The moment some actors hear that a character is from outside of South Africa, they tend to mimic the accent. I decided to shy away from that because it can land one in a lot of trouble, so I kept her simple yet respectful and powerful because she is well respected where she comes from."
In other news, Khabonian trended last year after she demanded a whopping R40 million from Life Bedford Gardens Hospital in Johannesburg after her placenta was burnt after giving birth.
"When you sign a legal document with a hospital to save your human tissue it’s your human right, women's right, cultural right, and civil right,” she said. The placenta was allegedly a big gig feature because she was working on a TV show centered around the health benefits of preserving a placenta.
