Karabo Magongwa, a 14-year-old South African actress, has made remarkable strides in her acting career. Her journey began at the tender age of five when she starred in an Oreo biscuits advert alongside actor Richard Lekunku, capturing the hearts of South African viewers.

Now, Karabo has become one of the leading actors on the popular e.tv soapie, “House of Zwide,” playing the role of Keletso Molapo. Hailing from Snake Park in Soweto, Karabo has shared her experience of how she started out in the entertainment industry. Her mother recognized Karabo’s natural inclination for acting, and after finding an agent, Karabo embarked on a path that has led her to the limelight.

“My mum told me that I used to play in front of the mirror a lot, acting. And whenever I would see a child playing a role on TV, I’d always say I could do that as well and do it even better than that person. So she looked for an agent for me and when she found one, we went for auditions.I did everything they asked me to do and I became an actress,” she said.
