'It's finally happening': Toka Mtabane on diving into the deep end of bingeworthy drama Youngins

Toka Mtabane made his screen debut in the acclaimed film Five Fingers For Marseilles in 2016 when he was just a teenager. He's now back on Showmax in Youngins, the first teen drama from Tshedza Pictures (Adulting, Outlaws, The River). 

In his biggest role yet, Toka plays Khaya Jali, the handsome, popular guy at school who is dating it-girl Buhle (Kealeboga Masango). But the truth is that while Khaya is a natural athlete, he is dismal in academics and has a tumultuous family life.  

Xabiso Ngqabe caught up with the 22-year-old to find out more about his role on the Showmax Original, which City Press hailed as a "nerve-wracking drama that will keep you on the edge of your seat".
