HER ROLE IN SAVAGE BEAUTY' Zimu scored the role of Zinhle in the latest Netflix series Savage Beauty which is produced by Quizzical Pictures and is created by Lebogang Mogashoa.

Her character is a mysterious young woman with a tragic past who pursues revenge for a hellish crime committed by a powerful family, the Bhengus.

She single-handedly attempts to take down the family matriarch and patriarch - Grace and Don Bhengu played by Isono and 7de Laan actress Nthati Moshesh and Generations actor Dumisani Mbebe.

The Bhengus rule a beauty empire with an iron fist and make Zinhle the face of their company unaware that she's their enemy.

Zinhle becomes increasingly ruthless throughout the show and the family begins to wonder who their enemy is as their lives fall apart throughout the show.

Zinhle loses her brother Bonga played by Mpho Sebeng and thinks she's killed Don later who wakes up in the boot of her car.
