Sni Mhlongo is 26 years old as her parents had on her on 25th December 1997, in a rural village called KwaMashu in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal. She was raised in the region and had a comfortable childhood as her parents were successful performers in the entertainment industry.
The YouTuber grew up together with her three siblings – Nozibusiso, Zama, and Nethezeko Mhlongo. Nozibusiso is her elder sister, while Zama and Nethezeko are her younger brothers.
The Mhlongo siblings are all doing well in their respective fields of interest. Nozibusiso, unlike Sni, keeps a low profile on her personal life and whereabouts. She graduated from the Durban University of Technology.
Currently, she works as the Deputy Director of the National Department of Higher Education. Nethezeko is the youngest of the siblings and is one year younger than Zama, who was born in 2002. Nethezeko arrived in the world on December 24th, 2003.
Snikiwe had both her elementary and high school studies in schools in the country. She attended the University of Cape Town for her first degree. She began her studies in 2016 and graduated in 2019.
She is the Daughter of Edmund and Brenda Mhlongo
Sni was born to South African actress, singer, and dancer Brenda Mhlongo and her husband Edmund Mhlongo, the founder of K-CAP, now renamed Ekhaya Multi-Arts Center.
The two are successful performers who have been in the industry for over two decades. Brenda and Edmund’s paths crossed for the first time when the former enrolled at K-CAP as a teenager.
From enrolling for performance training at 16, things got serious between Brenda and Edmund, which led to them falling in love and subsequently getting married.
No one is aware of the exact year they got married and how long they dated before marriage. The two were one of Mzansi’s favorite couples for years until 2021, when news broke that the actress had separated from her husband.
The report came as a big shock to the public and highlighted the fact that things can always go wrong between couples, no matter how happy they seem to appear on social media.
The duo’s separation came almost three years after Brenda shared a heart-melting video of Edmund gifting her a brand-new BMW for her 38th birthday. Unverified reports had it that the couple’s marriage had been shaky for a long time due to Brenda’s busy work schedule, which made her move to Johannesburg.
Edmund Allegedly Cheated on Brenda Mhlongo
The crack in the Mhlongos marriage, as gathered, was caused by Edmund’s cheating allegations which went viral in 2021. It is said that the K-CAP founder was seeing another South African woman called Nkosi Mpanza.
The two reportedly met at his academy, and in the mix of things, Nkosi fell pregnant for him after dating on the low for a long time. Edmund is said to have also paid for her lobola secretly.
Actress Brenda has not spoken a word publicly about her estranged husband’s alleged cheating scandal, and the public is not aware of the kind of relationship that exists between Edmund and Nkosi currently.
The latter has supposedly given birth to their baby, and there’s no update on the duo’s relationship.
