Ntando has a touching story about her modelling carer. She had a passion for art since she was a young girl. Her love for modelling was brought into actualization when she first participated in a modelling competition when she was four. Luckily, she won and was declared Miss Raindrop for that year.
When she turned six, she grew the confidence to focus on modelling. This is the time that she made a resolve to do everything within her capacity to ensure that she would become a significant person in the industry. In a speech, while reminiscing on what led her to make this decision, she stated;
I remember watching Miss South Africa since I was six, when Kerishnee Naicker was still Miss SA and I knew that one day I would be there.
She went further to state how cumbersome her journey had been and how she had sent in several applications but still not got a chance. In 2014, however, she was lucky to have been among the best 33 contestants. Unfortunately, she was dropped out during the finals. She got disappointed, even though she was not ready to quit.
In 2016, she participated in Miss South Africa 2016 which was held at the Carnival City´s Big Top Arena. She was lucky to be among the top twelve contestants that represented the twelve provinces. She was crowned the winner and was handed the crown by Liesle Laurie who was the incumbent Miss South Africa. Winning this title made her a household name in the country.
Ntando had the opportunity to represent the country during Miss World 2016 and Miss Universe 2016 beauty pageants.
Ntando says that she experienced growth in her modelling career as a result of the support that she got from her family. Each one of her family members played an important role in pushing her forward towards achieving her goals.

In February 2017, the latter's name appeared in a scandal that would have tarnished her name if it was true. The news came up in a website that she had been arrested at London's Heathrow Airport for claims of being in possession of two kilograms of cocaine. According to the report, Kunene had tried to smuggle the two kilograms of cocaine into London in coffee bags.
News of the alleged arrest was made on a fake website. The headline of the story read ‘Miss South Africa 2016 arrested at London Heathrow Airport With 2kg of Cocaine.’ The story stayed up for the whole day before it was pulled down.
Commenting on the issue, the public relations manager of Says Sun International dismissed the claims stating;
We chose at first to ignore the reports because we believed that people would realise that it was from a fake site. However, in light of the fact that we have had queries from legitimate media outlets we would like to set the record straight. Ntando has not been arrested and she has not been caught with any drugs in her possession. She is currently in South Africa and is not in London; in fact she has never been there.
Ntandoyenkosi Kunene is a beauty that looks like her life is in order. She recently got married and seems to be enjoying her marriage life. The drug scandal that was linked to her nearly tarnished her name, even though she overcame it.
