The gorgeous Maumela Mahuwa was born on the 16th of March 1980 in Gogobole Sinthumule, Limpopo South Africa. Growing up, her mother was not always around so she was raised by her grandmother and aunt in the village. Maumela was pretty much a village girl till Duma Ka-Ndlovu made her relocate to Johannesburg where she still resides to date.

Despite the fact that she’s been with the program for a long time, she still gets apprehensive before every scene she shoots.

She got the part after being spotted by Duma Ndlovu, the show’s creator, who actually handed her the part.

Her favorite TV shows, aside from Muvhango, are Generations and 7de Laan, and she watches every episode of Muvhango.
