Early life

She is Zulu, but learned Afrikaans in school.[4] Initially into acting, an administrative error that enrolled her in a filmmaking course instead of an acting one led her to discover her interest in what happens behind the camera.[6][7] She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in the Motion Picture Medium from AFDA in 2009.[8]
