Sarah Westbook is a feisty, ambitious and hard working woman whom Mabalane believes everyone can relate to.

“I got a call about the opportunity and the timing was perfect. I read the script and found the character interesting. So I went in to audition, and the Generations team was very welcoming so to me it just felt right. It was also perfect for me because it wasn't too demanding at first, with my daughter only two-months-old when I started shooting” shares Mabalane.

On working with previous The Wild co-star, Connie Ferguson, Mabalane expressed: “Connie is like a big sister to me, so we never stopped communicating or seeing each other since our last project. Although we have not yet shot scenes together for Generations, I totally love working with her, we have lots of fun. It's also been a pleasure meeting the rest of the cast and crew. Working with professional and committed co-stars makes the job much easier.”
