Ayanda Nzimande , in full names Ayanda Brandy Nzimande, (born 26 December 1995, Durban, KwaZulu-Natal), South African actress. She currently resides in Johannesburg, Gauteng.
Raised by a single parent between Cape Town and Durban, Ayanda has one older sister. She says she has never thought of doing anything else but act.

Ok, wait, when I was younger, I wanted to be an astronaut so I can be closer to the stars. I guess now I am closer to another kind of stars,” she laughs.
She tells us how she got the role. When her agent told her about it, she sent in a self-taped audition. She received a call back a month later, but she could not make it because she was on the set, playing Mbali on The Legacy on MNet. She managed to reschedule, but there was bungle up with the times, so she was late.
“Eventually I did the second audition and two hours after I left Scandal! studios, my agent called me to tell me that I got the gig. I was so excited.”
“This is my big break. I am so grateful that I am where I am right now. I have always loved watching Scandal and wished I could one day join the cast, so this is a dream come true for me. It is a manifestation of what I hoped for.
