Zinhle has achieved a lot of success in her career. If you are wondering how it is because she started early.
At the age of 16, she was already in films with her first being the Mthunzini series where she took the leading role, Bucie Twala.
In 2011, she played the role of Zindzi Mandela in the biopic of Winnie Mandela. The following year, Zinhle was on eKasi and featured when the show did a remix in 2013.
By now, religious followers of these shows will have known Zinhle but it was her appearance in Isibaya that catapulted her into the limelight.

She portrayed the character of Sihle, a girl whose life was altered by the death of her father. Whatever she sought to do was for her own benefit.
After a good run on the show, it was cancelled in 2021 and Zinhle took that opportunity to take a break from the screens.
She returned to the screens this year and just like before, walked straight into the cast list of House of Zwide. She plays Ntombi, a role that contrasts her conniving character in Isibaya.

Zinhle Mabena and Robert Ngwenya were embroiled in a nasty divorce in 2021 after the collapse of their four-year marriage.
Robert accused the Isibaya actress of domestic abuse but she denied the accusations. The latter insisted that he was the abusive party in the relationship and when he tried to fight back, he became violent.
Things were so bad that Zinhle obtained a protection order from her baby daddy and when he tried to violate it, she approached the court to grant her a protection order.

Things further escalated when Zinhle was arrested after she was accused of the attempted murder of her husband after three men attacked him at a petrol station. She was later absolved from all charges.
The two eventually divorced and the actress is yet to find love again. On her return to television, she said that she will be concentrating on that which means she isn’t ready to accommodate another man, at least not yet.
Not much is known about how Zinhle Mabena and Robert Ngwenya met as they announced their relationship after their wedding.
Nasty as her relationship might have ended, Zinhle Mabena and Robery Ngwenya have two adorable children, a girl and a boy. Details about them remain unknown.
In 2021, the Isibaya actress was arrested after she was accused of attempted murder of her now ex-husband Robert Ngwenya.
Ngwenya survived an attack by three men at a petrol station and police said they had evidence linking Zinhle to the crime.
However, when she appeared in front of a Pretoria Magistrate Court, the case was thrown out due to a lack of evidence.
She can’t catch a break. The actress and her ex-husband accrued arrears of around R200,000 for their house in Midrand.
The two failed to meet their R28,000 monthly commitment and reports indicated that Ngwenya evaded the debt collectors.
At the time, Zinhle occupied the house with their two children as they were going through a divorce.
