Starting her day on 959 Breakfast with Dineo Ranaka and Sol Phenduka is talented actress Mbalenhle Mavimbela.
Mbalenhle is popular for her lead role as Hlomu in the popular series The Wife.
With the third and final season of The Wife just weeks away, the actress opens up about her journey in the entertainment industry and plans for the future.
Despite not studying film and television, Mbalenhle’s love for acting started in high school.
“I made sure that I hung out with the drama students because I didn’t have the funds to study film and television.”
Her raunchy scene with Bonko Khoza on season 1 of The Wife set tongues wagging. Miss Mavimbela reveals that this was actually her “first intimate scene.”
Because she had already built a relationship with her co-star, they were comfortable with one another.
Before becoming a household name, the actress won three beauty pageants.
She says the experience “groomed” her a lot.
Moving forward, Mbalenhle wants to “understand the business side of acting and figure out how can she monetize her fame.”
