Ayanda joined the Miss Teen Durban contest and eventually, she made it to Miss Teen South Africa.

Career
In the year 2000, she had to relocate to Jo’burg to focus on pursuing a career in modeling.

In her words, “it was love at first sight for her when she saw the city. Immediately, Ayanda knew that Johannesburg was her dream.

After two years of experiencing city life, things were not headed in the direction she wanted.

To survive, she landed a part-time job as a waitress while attending auditions on the side.

The patience and hard work she put in paid off and she landed an acting role.

Ayanda was cast on Generation and Isidingo as an extra. More roles in acting followed, she played as Shangane girl in the show Mzansi.

Sadly, she lost her husband in December 2016 to kidney problems. She is a mother of two children – Ngcweti Ncwane and Mawenza Ncwane and had them with her late husband.

The love they share was so strong that it made it difficult for her to move on. To honor the love of her life, she wrote a book titled For The Love Of Sfiso Ncwane.
