Sivenathi Mabuya-Bukani was born on April 26 1993, in Cape Town. She grew up in East London with both her parents. She has three siblings. Things changed for this young lady upon doing drama at school and church. In 2013, she moved to Johannesburg to become a full-time actress.
Her first big break was when she won the Maqa Movie Competition for best amateur actors in South Africa, ultimately allowing her to feature in a local film titled Skorokoro by Phoenix Films Productions, which Darrell Roodt directed. Soon, she landed a small role in the hit drama series Igazi by Ferguson Films Productions in early 2016. Also, having worked on a short film, Lokshin Bioskop, with Kenneth Nkosi titled The Ring by Mnet in late 2015, there was no stopping her from kick-starting her career. With no training or management, Sivenathi has gathered experience to have her taken seriously.
Other projects include a Simba commercial, an international film titled The Lucky Special, a series for SABC3 titled Sober Companion, and another titled High Rollers. Sive currently plays a supporting role on the hit show Scandal for E-TV.
Raised in a conservative family, her principles and values of life remain her guidance. Sivenathi, or Sive as she would prefer, is a bubbly, outspoken young lady who loves sharing her views of how she perceives life and is always curious about what the world can offer her next.
