The beautiful and multi-talented South African actress has refused to dim her light in any aspect of her career while trying to build others.

She is a phenomenal actress, songwriter, singer, and voice artist. She is not just famous for these things because she has featured in some of the most popular series in the country and has already built a huge fanbase from acting, but rather because she is actually good at the things she does.

Being someone who understands the importance of having a diversified means of income, she has also taken up the challenge to start up her own business. With all of these achievements before the age of 30, you may be surprised to know that she was not born into a wealthy home, but with hard work and determination, she is building an empire for herself.

The Multi-talented Entertainer Is The Second Child Of Her Parents

Currently, there’s very little information about Rosemary Zimu’s childhood and family, but what we know is that she was born into a family of nine on the 15th of April 1993. She was the second child of the family, however, after her birth, her family continued to grow as her mum successfully gave birth to five other children, making them seven.

Her father was absent from the family, so her mother had to take up the entire responsibility of taking care of Rosemary and her siblings. Thankfully, her mother was able to successfully see them through elementary school and cater to their needs. There is currently no information about her high school education, but we know that she is a graduate of law. However, the university where she earned this certificate is also unknown.

Rosemary Zimu Developed An Interest In Drama At A Young Age

Rosemary Zimu’s interest in acting started very early, and her parents were quick to notice it and help her nurture the talent. At the age of 18, she was already being featured in theater productions like Moulin Rouge, and finally, in 2014, she played a role in the Nollywood movie ‘Champagne’. This role gave her much-desired recognition in South Africa and in other countries.

Her performance in the movie also earned her the nomination for the award of Most Promising Actress of the Year – even though she did not win. In 2017, she landed a role in Mzansi Magic’s Wena Wedwa, and that same year she was featured in the first South African Netflix movie, Shadow. This was another role that helped boost her career.

In 2018, she was featured in Mzansi Magic’s Ilangatje, and following that, she landed another acting gig, playing the role of ‘Veronica’ in the popular South African soap opera, Isidingo. After being a part of Isidingo from 2018 to 2019, she joined the cast of Generations: The Legacy, where she played the role of Thembeka, a high-class prostitute. In 2020, she was featured in Scandal! as Lily Juice.

In the second half of 2020, she joined the cast of the famous South African TV series The Queen where she played the character of Mildred’s daughter.

She Has Also Been Featured In Major Commercials

Movie producers are not the only ones that have noticed Rosemary’s talent, brands and companies have done so as well. She has been featured in commercials for some of the big brands in South Africa.

Currently, her business is on production break and has not been operational for some time now, but according to her, it will be back soon as she aims to continue providing easy access to the best kind of eyewear to South Africans.

Details About Her Personal and Relationship Life Remain Unknown

Sadly, she is one of those celebrities who keep their relationship away from the public. This makes it hard for her fan base to know if she is in a relationship or not, but according to reports, she is believed to be in a relationship.

As such we can expect her to be featured in more movies and TV series as the years go by.
