Popular South African actress Mapula Mafole has undoubtedly been dubbed the darling of small screens thanks to her unmatched acting flair. She is best known for her on-screen character of Mapula on e.tv’s drama series Rhythm City.

In the drama series, she starred as a troubled University student who had to balance peer pressure and a strict upbringing.

However, the drama series was canned after 14 years of airing, and many have been trying to connect the dots on the star actress’ whereabouts after the cancellation.

She reportedly folded back to modelling full-time and went on to furnish her craze of acting with some classes from The Market Theatre.However, despite not starring in any big-budget drama series lately, Mapula Mafole has won big on small screens. The actress has starred in several productions, including Pila Pila, My Girlfriend’s Father, Ke Bona Spoko, and Expiry Date.Mapula Mafole has also been active across her social media platforms and has been spotted on several premiere shows with his boyfriend.

The actress once opened up on her depression woes after Rhythm City was canned after 14 years. She made it known she struggled to find a job back then, leading to depression.

However, she sailed through the storm and has since bounced back with several on-screen gigs, which she has nailed perfectly.

Twitter was set on fire this week after Keke Palmer’s “baby daddy” Darius Jackson took to the app to slam her for wearing a sheer dress that revealed her butt cheeks to an Usher concert.

“It’s the outfit tho. you a mom,” he wrote on the app. After facing thousands of comments from Keke’s fans, he doubled down and wrote, “We live in a generation where a man of the family doesn’t want the wife & mother to his kids to showcase cheeks to please others & he gets told how much of a hater he is.”

Fans have revealed that the actress is unable to shed a tear, shows one range of emotion and looks unbothered throughout her scenes.

A fan from the show @tshepisotkzee compared Mfenyane to Larona Moagi, who played Tumi Mokoena from The River: “Watching Akhenime Mfenyana as Anathi on #GqeberhaTheEmpire is as cringeworthy as when we watched Larona Moagi as Tumi on The River.“

The actress is former The Queen and Generations actress Zendande Mfenyane’s sister, who’s been hailed as one of Mzansi’s most-talented actors.
