She made her on-screen debut when she was cast in Generations. The bubbly actress made her debut in 1999 after landing the role of babysitting schoolgirl Thami in the SABC 1. In the wake of her newfound fame, she later starred in 2000 in the Leon Schuster film Mr Bones.

Years later, she made all sorts of headlines with her Nomzamo on-screen character after replacing Zinzile Zungu in 2007 in SABC 1 sitcom Nomzamo. In the backdrop of her on-screen limelight, she switched the floor to play Busi in SABC 1 drama series Home Affairs in 2009. In 2013 Ayanda was cast as Phumelele on Mzansi Magic’s telenovela IsiBaya. In 2018 she was cast as Khethiwe in a South African television drama, Ambitions.
