Zandile Msutwana's biography
Your favourite South African actress comes from King Williams Town in the Eastern Cape. She has managed to keep her private life out of the spotlight, so we cannot share any personal information regarding her family.
Zandile studied Speech and Drama at the University of Cape Town before starting her acting career at The Langa Hall in the theatrical production called Ingalo. This was one of many performances on the South African stage before she leapt onto the silver screen as a presenter for eTV on Heita.

In 2005, she was featured in Beyond Berlin, directed by Peter Samann, and also played the lead in Unrequited Love. Over time, she has become a local soapie star, appearing in successful series such as Rythm City, Isidingo and Mtunzini, among others.
In the Mzansi Magic drama Zabalaza, she acts as Lindiwe Cele, the ambitious head of operations in the family business. Her fanbase grew significantly, however, when she landed the role of Vuyiswa, the Queen’s lead character.

Health matters
When she working on Zabalaza, she was diagnosed with a medical condition known as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. This is a hormonal disorder that affects some women at their reproductive age. As a result, their ovaries tend to develop multiple collections of fluid follicles and fail to release eggs regularly. One of the symptoms of this condition is abnormal hair growth,which Zandile struggles with. Hair began growing wildly on her face, and unfortunately the hair seemed more visible on the screen.
At this point, she began waxing her entire face, but the procedure did not react well on her skin as she started developing acne with puss. Finally, after consulting a doctor on how to control the symptoms, she had to change her diet and stop eating meat. At first, it was hard for her, but she managed to stay disciplined with time, and the symptoms faded away.
After suffering an injury on set in April, Msutwana was temporarily substituted by Thembisa Mdoda-Nxumalo in the character of Vuyiswa. Following a three month break from The Queen, our favourite actress returned to our screens in August for season 6 of the show.

How old is Zandile Msutwana?
The SABC actress was born on 6 July 1979. She celebrated her 42nd birthday in 2021 under the Cancerian star sign. However, like many, she was unable to have a big birthday bash, as social distancing regulations prevented large gatherings at the time.
Oh, the scandal!
SABC star Loyiso MacDonald just announced his divorce from Luphiwo, who allegedly caused chaos on set when she discovered he was having an affair with his co-star Zandile Msutwana.
The relationship between Loyiso MacDonald and Zandile Msutwana is supposed to have begun when the two acted as lovers on Zabalaza some years ago. They appeared to have taken their romance offset and were head over heels in love.
