Born in the year 1984, Gail Nkoane Mabalane was born in Mahikeng and grew up in Kimberly. From the time we first saw her auditioning on Idols SA one could tell that something was special about her. Wife to Kwaito superstar Kabelo Mabalane, the Blood & Water actress is one of Mzansi's finest talents. Below are five reasons that'll make you love her even more.
Gail is one of the most supporting wives we know. When they say that a good man has a good woman behind her they refer to someone like Mrs Mabalane. Gail and her husband recently opened about contracting Covid19 and Kabelo gives an account of the details. He shares how she was taking care of him and putting her health at risk - this, in turn, resulted in her getting Covid19 also. Despite this, she never made the situation about her and still remained supportive of her husband and kids.
Mrs Mabalane really loves children. If you've watched her interviews you should have picked up on her desire to have a big family. The woman just has all the love in the world to give.
Gail is one of the most talented Zalebs. In 2005 she was a Miss SA teen finalist, making it into the top 5. She is also a great actress, she's starred in The Wild, Generations, Rockville, Blood & Water but to name a few. Her singing got her into the top 10 of SA idols.

5. She's A Fighter
In 2019, she opened up about her struggle with hair loss, sharing with her followers through her social media channels that she was diagnosed with Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia. She's never let that bring her down. She's sought professional help and appears to be growing her hair back. Hair or no hair, we love her regardless.
