Recently named Best South African Streaming Series at the Behind the Scenes Awards, Youngins has got the streets buzzing. Season 2 is racking up the most-first day views of any title on Showmax since the African streamer's relaunch in February in partnership with Comcast's NBCUniversal and Sky.
This after #YounginsShowmaxS2 trended at No 1 on X on its launch day and its trailer topped a million views in under 24 hours online.
To find out more, Xabiso Ngqabe sat down with Kadia Banyini, the 19-year-old rising star from Dobsonville Gardens in Soweto.
How did you feel booking this role?
After my part in the Mzansi Magic movie Indoda Must, booking Youngins felt like a breakthrough – a sign that there's so much more room for growth.
Just last year, I was studying through Star Quality Creative Arts and by the grace of God, I landed this role right before finishing my course.
