So, who are the Talent for Season 1? Meet them:

From being taught every subject in IsiZulu to having English as a HL & Afrikaans as a FAL and now, a Systems Analyst at the oldest bank in South Africa. I’m a very curious, teachable individual and I get to work with experts on a daily basis. This requires patience, critical thinking, understanding, communication skills and paying attention to the finest detail. I have experience in multiple industries so adaptability is my superpower. Some say I’m kind but that’s the summary of my upbringing.

Title: Systems Analyst (Middle Management) from Gauteng

I’m a dedicated administrative professional with over 10 years of experience in banking, finance, education, healthcare and optics. I’ve worked at Nedbank, Thuthukani Finance, Old Mutual, and currently Osman’s Optical. I’ve completed matric (2005), call center operations (2007), and bookkeeping (2010) courses at Boston City Campus and Business College.

Title: Admin/Receptionist (Entry Level) from Gauteng

I am 37 years old mother of one. I was a teen mom and the boy passed on many moons ago. Then at 21 I had another child. I was a high school dropout due to the 1st child being sick. I started working as a domestic worker and worked my way up to where I am today. During the time I was a domestic, I was also attending classes so that I can get my matric certificate, and I did get my senior certificate. I was not happy about the results but I had to work to feed my child.

Title: Medical Receptionist (Entry Level) from Free State

We have started scouting for season 2 launching in January 2026. Enter here: www.tinyurl.com/talenttales
