Mbalenhle Mavimbela: The rising star of a small-town girl MbalenhleMavim
From her very first small-screen character as Thandazile on the e.tv telenovela, budding actor Mbalenhle Mavimbela journeys back into time as a child who thought acting was just “play” and not something she could make a career of.
While the 24-year-old lived true to her personality as a child, it was the discipline she received from her grandmother Thembi Mavimbela that channeled her into the headstrong and strong-willed woman she is today. “I remember how I used to get compliments from my drama teacher regarding my acting; I also got awards from my drama class but somehow once I completed my matric I couldn’t pursue acting because of the demanding enrolment fee AFDA in Johannesburg required, which led my mother not to be fully sold into the idea.”
As she’d wormed her way into the acting industry one audition attempt at a time, the curious actor adds that although her mother wasn’t sold in on the idea of her following her passion, her sister was always her ally to help her get some sort of funding for long trips for her auditions.
