Mapula Mafole is a South African model and actress who presently stars in Rhythm City as Mapula. It’s all down to her tenacity and determination that she continues to smash barriers. Mafole, who is currently performing Mapula on Rhythm City, is proof that dynamite comes in small packages. We can’t help but wonder what motivates her as she juggles two occupations.
Despite her baby look and diminutive frame, which has led some to label her an adolescent, she continues to inspire others through acting and modeling.
Since 2012, she has been portraying adolescent roles, and her characters frequently express topics that concern young people in African nations. Her difficult route to stardom is an inspiration, and she continues to thrive, using the stumbling blocks as stepping stones.
Her father returns home from the UK after years of hunting for greener pastures after enrolling at AFDA for an acting training. When Mapula’s father has a stroke, her life takes a turn for the worst, sending her into a dark place.
When both of her parents travel to the United Kingdom in search of better jobs, the actress is left in the care of her siblings. She struggles to fit in due to her frequent school moves.
She gradually succumbs to despair and anxiety as a result of her loneliness and misery. She seeks the help of a school psychologist while she is only 13 years old. She didn’t regain her confidence and chose to continue acting until she was close to graduate.
For her part in Rhythm City, the actress is nominated for a South African Film and Television Award for Best Supporting Actress in a TV Soap/Telenovela. “I’ve been praying for this for a long time. It had just arrived.
