The two sisters grew up together, but only one had an interest in acting, and that was Vuyelwa. Vuyelwa studied cinema at Tshwane University of Technology, while Vuyokazi studied agriculture.Vuyelwa would go to auditions when the two had finished their studies, and Vuyokazi would join her.

Together with her twin sister and the Khuzwayo twins, they recently dropped a song called Isidwaba that they have been marketing on their Instagram accounts for some time now.
“I could sing, but I never thought I could perform as an actor. As I got into it, I realised that I could actually do it. I then enrolled at the Joburg Theatre to learn more,” she shares. “Church was a social place for me. I grew up in church. I started singing at church and I got my first role because I could sing,” she adds.
Her twin is Vuyo’s inspiration and the reason she has a knack for the arts. At 25 years of age, Vuyelwa returns from Manila, Philippines where she was also an actress and singer for Disney’s Lion King international tour.
