Mapula Mafole, commonly known to many as Mapula Rhythm City, is a talented actress. She has been in the entertainment industry for a while now. Her acting prowess has made her noticeable in the local acting scene.

The young actress has been acting professionally since 2012. She has a fighting spirit that does not allow her to quit when times become tough. She is a soft-spoken woman with a tiny body frame and a babyface. Mapula Mafole is, therefore, able to portray the character of a teenager on screen.
The young actress came into the world on the 18th of July 1990. Her current age, therefore, is 33 years.
The beautiful actress holds an AFDA degree. She graduated in 2013.
Mapula is yet to reveal many details about her family. Both her parents are alive, and her mother is a certified nurse. She has two brothers whose names are Thabiso Mafole and Kabelo Mafole. She also has an older sister named Tebogo Mafole. Initially, the family of six lived in Klerksdorp. They all relocated to Tshwane when the actress was ten years old.
However, both her parents, Moses and Monica, left her and her siblings shortly after the move to Tshwane. They flew to the United Kingdom for work-related purposes. She is the youngest among her siblings. When the parents left, she was left under the care of Tebogo, who is married to DJ Christos. Tebogo and her family resided in Pretoria. Her older sister took care of the actress until she left for university.
Mapula admits that the absence of her parents when she was growing up deeply affected her. After her parents left, she struggled with the change in schools. She also found it rough to live the city life and would often feel isolated and lonely.
She bottled up all her feelings and thoughts, which ultimately led to depression and struggles with anxiety. She would cope by locking herself up in her bedroom and sleeping for days. She would also go days without eating and would cry a lot.
When she was 13 years old, she realised that she needed help. She went to the school psychologist for assistance. The psychologist offered her therapy sessions, and by the time she was graduating from high school, she was confident that she wanted to pursue a career in acting.
After enrolling at AFDA for an acting course, her father decided to relocate to South Africa because he wanted to develop a close relationship with his children. Unfortunately, she suffered a stroke. The fear of losing Moses made the actress slip back into depression. She would often skip classes and started failing in her exams.
She decided to seek help from a psychologist again. She was able to recollect her life. Today, the actress says that depression and mental health illnesses can be triggered by anything. She still has moments from when she struggles with anxiety and depression.
