He is her father&#8217;s younger brother and both of them share a cordial relationship.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>She Became a Professional Traditional Dancer at a Young Age<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Velile Makhoba discovered her inherent aptitude and love for Zulu traditional dancing as a young child. She began dancing in elementary school and then enrolled in local dance academies to improve her abilities.<\/p>\n<p>She graduated from the Phakama Dance Academy and the Ekhaya Multi Art Center. During her time at these institutions, she learned new dance techniques, how to express stories via dance, and other important dance lessons.<\/p>\n<p>She has traveled to numerous places as a professional dancer and entertained crowds with her unique traditional dance movements. She has also taken paid performances outside of South Africa, demonstrating her value as a performer and making her one of the local stars to watch in terms of traditional Zulu dance.<\/p>\n<p>The Mayville native has also appeared with the well-known dance crew Izintuthwane, who displayed an outstanding performance during the Nedbank Final Cup opening ceremony at Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>She Made Her Debut Acting in the TV Series Gomora<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Velile Makhoba appeared on TV for the first time as the fictitious character Gugu in the popular TV series Gomora. She debuted on the program in 2021 after agreeing to a one-year contract with the soap opera&#8217;s producers.<\/p>\n<p>Her role was written out because her on-screen family members were no longer available on the show. She played the daughter of Phumlani Ndaba (played by actor Buyile Mdladla) and a sister to Buhle (played by actress Ama Qamata).<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CdnOxwYFlA5\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
