She studied in the US<\/strong><\/p>\nBefore launching her acting career, Gugu Gumede studied acting in the US at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
She returned to South Africa in 2013 to a big start on the screens, and things have been getting better for this beautiful actress.<\/p>\n
Gugu, who credits her exceptional performance as MaMlambo from Uzalo, is an advocate for studying acting. In 2020, she advised young people hoping to make it in the acting industry to take their time to study the craft, read books, and do research on the internet.<\/p>\n
She also revealed that she was able to portray a wide range of characters because she studied her material and researched her character in depth.<\/p>\n

She recently welcomed her first child<\/strong>
\nOn March 24, 2022, after a much-hyped pregnancy, Gugu Gumede gave birth to her first child- a daughter.<\/p>\nIt is not clear who the father of Gugu\u2019s child is since the actress keeps a really low profile when she is away from the screen.
\nIt is also unclear whether she is married or dating.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Is MaMlambo leaving Uzalo?<\/strong><\/p>\nPrior to giving birth, there had been a lot of speculations that Gugu Gumede was leaving Uzalo. In January 2022, stories circulated that Gugu was leaving the show to continue with her late\u2019s mother legacy in politics.<\/p>\n
It appears that the reports were nothing more than rumors, and as of now, Gugu is still MaMlambo from Uzalo.<\/p>\n
She is a staunch Christian<\/strong><\/p>\nOne thing that Gugu Gumede is never shy about expressing is her religion. The actress is said to be a born-again Christian.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
She made an appearance in Generations<\/strong><\/p>\nBefore her famous role as MaMlambo on Uzulu, Gugu Gumede had a role on Generations as Mandisa, a role which she landed shortly after her return from the US.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
She is a member of the NFP<\/strong><\/p>\nIn 2021, Gugu Gumede joined the campaign trail for her the National Freedom Party which was also her late mother\u2019s party.<\/p>\n
Whether or not the beautiful actress will join politics like her parents is not clear for now, although we believe that time will tell.
