Phindile Gwala’s husband’s age and academic qualifications
Armando was born in Congo on the 26th of June 1988. As of 2022, he is 37, which makes him two years older than her wife, Phindile.

Before Armando moved to South Africa, he obtained a degree in Infomation and Technology at the Republic of Congo University. Due to a lack of employment in his mother country, Armando started working as a waitress at a local restaurant in his neighbourhood. With the bit of experience he learned, Armando launched his restaurant and club.

His company did not flourish as he had imagined, and his brother Jason Ngandu invited him to move to South Africa. His brother’s idea was that he should try his luck in modelling and acting. Through his hard work and determination, he is now one of the celebrated models in the country, and his career is blooming.
