However, Thandeka has also had her fair share of drama in her life. Remember when she went to the hospital after she had been poisoned by a colleague? Her outburst with the KZN Entertainment Awards organizers got everyone talking. Through all this, Dawn Thandeka King has managed to sail through gracefully.
Let us take a look at some of the more noteworthy moments in Dawn Thandeka King’s life.
Dawn Thandeka King won the Best Actress Award at the KZN Entertainment Awards ceremony held in Durban, ICC. The well-known actress, who played MaNgcobo on the SABC1 telenovela Uzalo, was not happy and had some harsh words to say about the organizers of the inaugural ceremony.
While the award was supposed to be accompanied by prize money amounting to R100,000, Dawn Thandeka King only received R20,000 of that amount. The actress waited long enough and has asked for answers.

A few days after her birthday last year, Dawn Thandeka King posted a picture with her new man. The photo was a testament to the couple's love for each other, but all netizens could talk about was the actress’ protruding tummy. This sparked rumors of the star being pregnant again.
She reminded her fans that she is a voluptuous African woman and that all she was expecting was Joy, Peace, and Wealth. But what she posted next really got people talking.
April 2021 and the two months after seemed to be a trying time for our favorite actress. She took to social media to reveal details about the terrible accident she had on set that left her with a knee injury and immobilized for three months.
