Her birthplace is <a href=\"https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/10-most-relaxing-water-parks-in-johannesburg\/\">Johannesburg<\/a>, and she hails from Eastern Cape. Pisces is her Zodiac sign.<\/p>\n<p>Having been active in the entertainment scene since 2003, Phumeza&#8217;s contributions have not gone unnoticed. Not only was her album, &#8216;Just Listen&#8217; nominated for the Metro FM Award, but her show, <em>Abandoned,<\/em> was also nominated for the SAFTA Award for Best Docu-reality Show.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Phumeza Mdabe&#8217;s Parents<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Phumeza Mdabe&#8217;s mother was a South African, <a href=\"https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/xhosa-tribe-culture-and-language\/\">Xhosa<\/a> to be specific, whereas her father is a German national. Her biological father married another woman soon after her birth and focused on his family. As a result, the actress was raised by her mom and stepfather.<\/p>\n<p>She grew up with her three siblings, and one has died. Phumeza Mdabe&#8217;s mother worked as a domestic worker to support their family. Sadly, she died in 2002, and Phumeza&#8217;s father didn&#8217;t show up at her funeral.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Was Phumeza Mdabe Abandoned?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Yes, Phumeza Mdabe was abandoned by her biological father after her birth. As the host of the Mzansi Magic docu-reality series, <em>Abandoned<\/em>, she <a href=\"https:\/\/stories.showmax.com\/gh\/abandoned-in-conversation-with-phumeza-mdabe\">opened up<\/a> that she&#8217;s just like the guests on the show who were seeking closure with their parents who abandoned them. Phumeza grew up without knowing her father and struggled with her identity. She was told her father was White but never wanted anything to do with her.<\/p>\n<p>However, at the age of 15, her mother <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snl24.com\/drum\/celebs\/news\/phumeza-mdabe-helping-orphaned-kids-reunite-with-parents-in-new-mzansi-magic-show-abandoned-20210118\">gave<\/a> her permission to go and look for her father to have a relationship with him. She told her where he lived, and Phumeza went to ask her father for her high school fees. Though she found her father at home, he never welcomed her. He asked her to leave because his wife, who was at the movie, would be back at any time.<\/p>\n<p>Phumeza Mdabe&#8217;s father gave her his phone number and promised to pay her school fees. Even though she called him many times, he never answered her calls. Consequently, Phumeza gave up on trying to have a relationship with her biological father. After she revealed on <em>Abandoned<\/em> that she needed to have closure with her father, who denied her from birth and rejected having a relationship with her because his wife didn&#8217;t want them to unite, her production team helped her reach out to her father.<\/p>\n<p>He came to the show&#8217;s production site and talked with Phumeza. Despite getting hurt by the things her father said to her, she was happy to have closed the chapter of trying to know why her father abandoned her at birth. Phumeza Mdabe gave her number to her father and said that it&#8217;s now left for him to call her whenever he decides to.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Phumeza Mdabe Released Her Debut Album in 2007<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PIoWDcU45JY?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Before music, Phumeza was a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sowetanlive.co.za\/sundayworld\/lifestyle\/2014-06-17-love-marriage-and-focus-phumeza-mdabe\/\">member<\/a> of a performing arts group called Amajika.

Even though she has reportedly retired from working as a model, Mdabe attained popularity in Mzansi for her appearances in numerous commercials.<\/p>\n<p>She also modeled for several top-notch brands, which include Kellogs, Nando&#8217;s, Ponds, Loxion Kulca, and Jet Stores. Currently, she serves as an ambassador for the CHOC Childhood Cancer Foundation and travels throughout the country, raising awareness about the importance of early diagnosis of cancer.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>How Phumeza Mdabe Met Her Husband, Shota<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Phumeza Mdabe got acquainted with her husband, Mnqobi &#8220;Shota&#8221; Mdabe, in 2007. After nabbing a record contract with Universal Music in 2007, she was referred to Mnqobi, who works as a music producer, to help with the production of her first studio album. Although their first interaction wasn&#8217;t so nice as they were engrossed with work, they eventually started developing feelings for each other after Phumeza signed under Shota Music, and they spent much time together working on music projects.<\/p>\n<p>The two toured around the country and performed together on many occasions. They eventually started dating, and in December 2012, Shota <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sowetanlive.co.za\/s-mag\/living\/2022-11-29-a-christmas-miracle-phumeza-and-mnqobi-shota-mdabe-loves-story\/\">proposed<\/a> to Phumeza. For a year, the music producer asked the former OPW host whether she was ready to get married without any satisfying reply. He then took the bull by the horns in December 2012 when he stormed Phumeza Mdabe&#8217;s hometown with his father and uncles, asking for her hand in marriage.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>When Did Phumeza Mdabe Get Married?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Mnqobi Mdabe first paid Phumeza&#8217;s lobola in 2012. Then, after discovering during the lobola negotiations that they had been on the wrong side of the family, he paid a second lobola in June 2022.
