Her previous roles in Smoke & Mirrors and Shaka ILembe
The actress is famously known for portraying the character of Sindi in e.tv's Smoke and Mirrors.
She exited the popular e.tv telenovela in January this year after her character got killed.
Kunene is also known for playing the role of Nandi's daughter alongside Nomzamo Mbatha who played her mother in Mzansi Magic's Shaka ILembe.
The 24-year-old actress revealed in a 2021 interview with Daily Sun that she had to overcome many insecurities about her body when she joined the industry.
“As an upcoming artist you worry about a lot of things. My body weight and the way I look have always been things I worried about in the past. I was very chubby growing up and when I got into the industry I wanted to make sure that I was skinny," she said.
She also revealed that she's since realised that what speaks volumes is her talent and the way she treats people.
"I have forgotten all those things because people are now embracing their bodies, their insecurities. I love myself; I love my body and I want to encourage young black girls to be who they are,” she added.
