Zonke Mchunu had no intention of becoming an actor when she was younger; all she wanted to do was dance. In an interview with the Daily Sun, Zonke stated that she was unable to dance due to a lack of possibilities in her community. She used to imitate Jika Majika and Sarafina by watching them dance.
