The actress we all love to hate was born and bred in  Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal. Her parents died when she was an infant, and her grandmother became her guardian. Her grandmother would struggle to make ends meet, but she made sure her granddaughter Thuso Mbedu had the best education. She wanted her granddaughter to have a better future because back then, they believed that education was the key to success.

To be a trophy granddaughter to her grandma, Thuso worked hard at school so that she could excel in her studies. She did her matric at Pietermaritzburg Girls High school and passed with good grades.

After passing grade 12, she registered for tertiary education at the University of the Witwatersrand, where she studied  Physical Theatre and Performing Arts Management. She underwent four-year training before she graduated with her honours degree in 2013.

The year prior, in 2012, she took a course at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting in New York City, US. She is a beauty with brains who stops at nothing to be successful.

After obtaining a degree and certificate in television, Thuso struggled to win an acting gig. There is too much competition in the entertainment industry, but fortune favoured the bold. She won her first acting gig in 2014 as a supporting actress in the Mzansi Magic soapie Isibaya. She nailed her to perfection, evidenced by her winning other big acting gigs.

Since her debut in the entertainment industry, she has been winning big in her career. Not only is she making a name for herself, but she is also representing South Africa worldwide. Thuso recently won the Best Female Performance in a New Scripted Series award at the Independent Spirit Awards, and she represented her country well.
