After enrolling at AFDA for an acting course, her father comes back home from the UK after years of searching for greener pastures. Life takes a turn for the worst as Mapula’s father suffers a stroke, pushing the actress into a dark place.

The actress is left in the care of her siblings when both her parents relocate to the United Kingdom in pursuit of better jobs. Struggling with the frequent school transfers, she fails to fit in.

Piling up all that loneliness and anguish, she eventually falls into depression and battles anxiety. At only 13 years of age, she seeks the help of a school psychologist. It was until she was about to graduate that she regains her confidence. It is here that she decides to pursue acting and later modelling.

Her svelte figure gives her the advantage to soar in the modelling industry and she continues to break ceilings. As the face of Quiteria Ateria, she keeps serving stunning looks on her Instagram page and we are here for them.
