“In high school, I was not as cool and the most spoken about and liked by girls as Paxton is. But with Paxton, he does that so effortlessly, which kind of makes me relive my high school experience in a very cool way.

“Everyone loved me in high school. I was one of the top students as well, which amplified the confidence I have in my intellect.”

Molokomme advised the class of 2022 to make friends with people smarter than them as he believes that will motivate individuals to perform better.

Zizo Sobhutyu plays the role of Mosebjadi and is a grade 11 pupil.

“I remember having cold feet about my first day in high school as I wasn’t sure if I was going to fit in or if I will get friends, but my day was the complete opposite of my imagination,” Sobhutyu said.

In episode 5 of Unfollowed on Showmax, Zoe spoke well of Robert.She credits Robert with being her protector within the entertainment industry for seven years before the two became involved.She also expressed deep gratitude to his family for their support.

“I met them at the time when I was pregnant and my mother had just died, and they came to be family,” she said.“What it did to me emotionally was go into postnatal depression, which I didn’t know was happening at that time. So trying to commit suicide while having a little newborn baby.”

In contrast, Zoe had nothing good to say about her tumultuous relationship with Lebo.
