However, her efforts could not take care of everything as she still had to depend on subsidies from the government to ensure that Siphesihle and her brothers attended good schools. Even though she was not from a wealthy or even an average home, she has made out something from her life at a very young age.

Siphesihle Ndaba was an outstanding student at school. She always made it to the top 10 students, and her academic prowess earned her admission into Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls (OWLAG) from grade 10 to matric. While she was in high school, she was actively involved in music. She always took part in the school’s annual musical concert and was a part of a jazz band. She even played at Johannesburg Schools Orchestra.
Her love for music made her decide to study music at the university. However, after a conversation with someone who convinced her otherwise, she came to terms with the fact that music may not work for her. So she decided to go for a bachelor’s degree in social science.
She found it difficult to choose between arts and science, so she decided to go for a triple major in psychology, drama, and economics. One of her noteworthy achievements in school was writing and directing a production on rape culture on campus for the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown in her second year at Rhodes University.
She did her honors degree in Dramatic Arts, specializing in acting, applied, and physical theatre, and this accounts for why she is so good at bringing her movie characters to life.
