Brenda Mhlongo is a well-known South African actress best known for playing Nandi Mabaso in the SABC drama series ‘Generations: The Legacy.’
However, two years after joining the show, she kissed her on-screen character farewell after her contract was not extended. She has since been in a number of high-profile drama shows.
No doubt, apart from acting, she serves fashion goals. She is best known for donning designer clothes to cap her life of glitz and glamour.
She first appeared on television in an episode of the e.tv anthology series eKasi: Our Stories entitled “Kept Apart (Season 5, Episode 19), which aired on July 28, 2014.
Later that year, she had a guest-starring role in an episode of the SABC1 political thriller series Ihawu.
In 2015, she had another guest role, this time as Buhle, on the first season of the SABC1 soap opera Uzalo.
Her big break in television came in 2016, when she was cast as Jack Mabaso’s (Vusi Kunene) wife Nandi on the SABC1 soap opera Generations: The Legacy. She played the role for two years before departing the show in October 2018 after her contract was not renewed.
In 2017, she was the featured guest in an episode of the SABC1 music talk show Zaziwa, which aired on July 16 (Season 5, Episode 12).
A few months later, she was a guest on the SABC3 lifestyle show Top Billing, appearing in Season 27, Episode 20 (which aired on September 14, 2017).

In 2020, Brenda replaced Fundi Zwane mid-season in the role of Priscilla “KaMadonsela” Bhengu on the e.tv soap opera Imbewu, starting July 27 after Zwane was unable to negotiate a salary increase.
In 2022, she joined the cast of the 1Magic soap opera The River in the role of Nomafu, Bukhosi’s younger, second wife—a terrible stepmother, but she knows how to clean money.
Well, we have managed to connect the dots on the actress’s age. Brenda Mhlongo is 42 and was born on August 14, 1980, in KwaMashu, KwaZulu Natal, South Africa.
Doubt about her looks has often left many guessing about her age. Reports have it that she has been married for almost three decades, and her marriage has been blessed with three children.
Her unparalleled talent also landed her a spot on the SABC3 lifestyle show Top Billing, where she appeared in Season 27, Episode 20 in 2017. A year later, she was a guest presenter at the 11th SABC Crown Gospel Music Awards.
