Finally, she later got a place at Green Point, where she lived until she finally matriculated from high school in 2006 with two distinctions In English and Afrikaans. This earned her one of the highest honors any student at Sea Point High School at that time could get, and that was the Stephen Young Scholarship.

While Sinazo may find it easy to keep her private and relationship life away from the public, it is not an easy task for the love of her life who wants to let the world know that he is the lucky man who has captured her heart. She is allegedly in a relationship with a mystery man named ‘Marcus’ who is also in the TV and film industry. According to close sources, the two are in a happy relationship and understand each other’s work requirements.
Marcus, who understands how difficult it can be to date a celebrity, has been able to understand the demands of Yolwa’s chosen career and has found a perfect way to adapt to it.

On the other hand, Marcus has confirmed his relationship with the actress, and one of the SUN team overhead her calling him ‘babe’ at the South African Film and Television Awards (SAFTA) in Sun City.
