What is Monique Rockman’s Ethnicity?

There are no clear details about the real ethnicity of Monique Rockman either online or in a statement. However, there are rumors that she may be of mixed ethnicity due to her color, which means that she’s not a full black lady. Monique Rockman was born on August 8, 1987, in Albertina, a small town in Mosselbay,  in South Africa’s Western Cape Province.

The only certain fact is that she is South African and was born and brought up in South Africa. There are many more facts that may point to which ethnic group Monique belongs to, but none of them are concrete at the moment.

On the other hand, the difficulty in ascertaining her ethnicity is more compounded by the fact that Monique has not revealed any details about her family even as she became popular as an actress. There are very few details about her parents, and there has never been an interview or comments where she mentioned her immediate family, although she posts them on her accounts from time to time.

She Began Showing Her Inclination for Entertainment From an Early Age

Monique Rockman was smitten with the entertainment and showbiz industry at a very young age. She started by performing in a church in the school choir. With time, Monique deduced that the singing was not just enough for her, and she demanded more. This led her to start looking to bag a career as an entertainer.

Monique admitted that she needed to do more at an early age, even though she started with singing. The actress graduated with a drama diploma from Northlink College and planned to further her studies at Tswane University, known as the University of Pretoria.

Monique Enrolled in Sunday School Due to Financial Difficulties

Unfortunately, Monique was no longer able to conclude her education due to restrictions caused by the inability of her family to afford her tuition. This forced the young Monique to re-plan and choose a different direction for her career. Despite these challenges, Monique Rockman decided to enroll in Sunday classes to get her degree at the Observatory Cape Town.

As a Sunday school student, Monique and her mates were brushed up as writers and actors by performing experts such as Abdurahman Adams and Tariq Jenkins. The pair were part of the Royal Shakespeare Company. And indeed, being true to her dreams, Monique made good of the tuition she got from the two talented performers.

Monique Rockman Had a Career Breakthrough in 2018

Despite her passion as an actor, Monique’s career didn’t quite kickstart until she made a breakthrough on the TV show Sara Geheim (Sarah’s Secret) on April 10, 2018. She further got another role where she played Beverly on the SABC sitcom series Onder die Suiderkruis (Under the Southern Cross).

Monique then landed her first significant role on the kykNET paranormal investigative program, Die Spreeus (The Starings) which premiered on April 9, 2019. From here, she then proceeded to feature in other movies and TV shows such as:

  • Gaia (Gabi) – 2021
  • Die Smaak van Saffraan – 2021
  • Die Spreeus (Beatrice Mack) – 2019
  • Onder die Suiderkruis (Beverley Kearns) – 2018
  • Number 37 (Pam Ismael) – 2018
  • Tussen as en hoop – 2016
  • Binnelanders (Jenna) – 2005
  • Sara se Geheim (Leila)
  • Suidooster (Joy Benjamin)
  • The Riviera (Jenny)

Monique Rockman’s acting accolades are not limited to the South African movie industry but also on the international scene.
