Dupped as the goddess of small screens actress Nambitha Mpumlwana made all sorts of headlines with her unmatched talent. However, in the mix of her brilliance, she disappeared in thin air, and Mzansi is still connecting the dots about her whereabouts.
The actress is best known for her Generations on-screen character Mawande Memela. The celebrated actress was part of the star-studded cast of Generations, including the late Menzi Ngubane, Leleti Khumalo, and Connie Ferguson. Like those before her, she discovered her passion for acting whilst young and decided to furnish it with some acting classes in Canada.
She had a shot at fame when she was cast as SABC2’s Wildlife Show 50/50 presenter. Her thrust into the limelight came with a presenting gig on SABC. However, in the backdrop of her gig, she was already starring in several soap operas as an extra.
Since then, she has been winning big. From Justice for all to Shado’s. However, her career bliss came when cast on 7de Laan, Generations and Isidingo. The actress managed to cap her flair with accolades throughout her illustrious career. The actress scooped the precious Golden Horn Award as the best actress during the 2007 SAFTA’s. With a career spanning decades, Mzansi has wondered how old the actress could be?
