Biography
Zimkhitha Nyoka is a South African actress born October 6, 1990. Her breakthrough came through Akin Omotoso's Vaya (2016), which earned her an Africa Movie Academy Award nomination for Best Actress in a Leading Role. Prior to this, she appeared in Norman Maake's Mutual Friends and starred in multiple South African television productions: she played Anathi in Isithembiso, Badanile Nqoloba in Mutual Friends (2014), Nash in Ngempela, and Olwethu in the 2016 series Gold Diggers. Her early career was shaped by formal training—she graduated from Lady Grey Art Academy with distinction in 2010, then enrolled at University of Johannesburg to study Science. While at university, she performed in plays including Romeo and Juliet Unplugged as Juliet and Dance the Dance by Tristian Jacobs, and sang in musicals and a cappella groups. She eventually left her studies when she landed her first lead television role as Badanile on SABC 1's Mutual Friends. As a Libra, she embodies the sign's creative balance—reflecting on her role in Vaya, she drew from her own experiences with education access and advocated for government support in making education more affordable. Nyoka grew up as a science student until grade 10, when she transferred to drama school; her parents supported the shift despite initially encouraging academic pursuits. She has cited Generations actor Jaftha Mamabolo as her entertainment industry idol.
