"KB is the genius of the squad, he is the calm in the storm and, he tries to rationalize everything instead of acting the way other kids are acting, that is essentially who KB is."

Thabang said he can resonate with KB because he is 80% of who he is. The actor said he was excited when he got the role after his agent pranked him that he did not impress the show's makers.

"I went to the first audition and waited for 3 weeks and after that, I was told that I got a callback and my agency pranked me and said I flopped in the first audition, so I need to pull up my socks and when I got to the call back I did the best and I remember 2 days later I got a call when I was with my girlfriend and I was told that you for the role."

Speaking about working with a star-studded cast including the likes of Nasty C and Natasha Thahane, he said it was a great experience. "It was a great experience, I feel like in this journey of acting I am still learning, I'm not really a pro yet even when I do become a pro I will be still learning, so I always pick up from everyone that I get to act with, in whatever show that I do, so it was a great experience learning wise."

This series will definitely catapult his career internationally as it is streaming in many international countries, he said he is excited about that," I am very excited and nervous at the same time because it is playing in many countries. For my career, I feel like it is going to open a lot of doors for me"
