Nokwanda, who plays the character role of Futhi on Imbewu, is her twin. Although they were born 5 minutes apart, each declares themselves older. They have always done everything together from day one, painting a good picture of the saying two peas in a pod.

Surprisingly, their mother also had difficulty telling the two apart because of their identical looks. It might explain why thousands of Imbewu fans thought one actress played the characters of Futhi and Zakithi.

The twins were raised by their mother, Nokuthula Xulu-Khuzwayo. She was an unemployed widow breaking her back to feed her five children.

Nokubonga Khuzwayo’s body statistics

The star has an athletic body type. She often shares some of her workout routines on Instagram.

At some point, Khuzwayo revealed she had to stop eating to become skinny. But looking back, she has deemed the approach unhealthy, which is why she uses the platform to advocate for healthy weight loss while teaching people to be comfortable in their skin.

Career

Khuzwayo and her twin Nokwanda were forced to start hustling early because their mother was unemployed and had to cater to their three siblings. So, Nokwanda worked as a waitress in Durban while her sister worked at a call centre in Mount Edgecombe.

Since these were not their dream jobs, they did not hold the posts for long. In no time, the two opened a hair salon, which was successful, and they used the funds to propel their acting, dancing and singing careers.

Acting gigs

The twins debuted in acting in 2003 in a play called Madiba’s Magic Song. Four years later, Nokubonga joined the Lion King Production and got to travel the world for a decade, while her sister joined Story Production in England. But, she got homesick, became depressed and had to come back home.

When she returned, she asked Imbewu’s creator Duma KaNdlovu to allow her to join his acting classes, to which he agreed. At the time, Duma KaNdlovu was looking for two look-alike actors, and the twins were lucky to be picked. Unfortunately, not much is known about Nokubonga Khuzwayo’s movies and TV shows profile.
