She also posts a lot about her family on Instagram, particularly pictures of her with her brother and sister actress Akhe Mfenyana. However, those have become a little overshadowed by images of baby activities she is involved in.
Although Zenande has always kept her private life out of the limelight, in 2018, she took to social media and announced that she was in an abusive relationship.
She said that the individual did not like a lot of things about her - her dressing, where she lived, the friends she had, and the place she worked.
Zenande was having none of it and ended that relationship. Soon after, she tweeted that she had been in a beautiful relationship with an unidentified individual for the past year and is living a life of pure bliss.
It looks like things are on the up and up for our starlet from “The Queen,” and we are still waiting for more updates on her personal and professional life.
The actress has been linked with two men in the past; Goodwill Malinga, popularly known as Dr Malinga, and Warren Masemola.
Both were also rumoured to be her baby daddies but it turned out to be just a rumour. As such, the identity of Zenande Mfenyana's baby daddy remains undisclosed.
That stated, one central question on everyone’s mind seems to be about the unknown Zenande Mfenyana wedding.
The actress has never been upfront about her love life but has made cryptic posts that suggested that she was in a relationship.

Zenande Mfenyana found herself in trouble with tweeps on two occasions.
First when she attacked a user who only tried to encourage her about the body changes she experienced during her pregnancy. The fan shared her pregnancy experience, in which she shared that her family made fun of her, but Zenande took the comparison the wrong way and told off the fan.
The other time she was in trouble with tweeps is when she complained about house helps and stated that they are tiring. The online fanbase assumed that she referred to her own helper and called her out for being insensitive.
Zenande Mfenyana has tweeted about cars. In one post, she revealed that she needed a big car. She did not attach any pictures to this post nor mention the brand she desired.
She also commented on a post in which someone expressed their misunderstanding of how people get emotionally connected to their cars. She tweeted: “My first car, I loved it to bits even gave it a name, after that, nah… a car is something that gets me from point A to B.”
Zenande Mfenyana’s net worth is estimated to be around $500,000 to $1 million. She makes this from her career as an actress, voice-over artist, emcee and philanthropist.
Zenande won the You Spectacular Award for Best Actress in 2014.
