At the age of 12 years old my late sister (Happy Jabulile Mhlongo) introduced me to pageantry world after we lost both of our parents. I entered Miss Young Stars 2007 for the first time and I took the title, that is when my love for modeling developed, I continued with pageantry until I got to the Secondary level, then my moved to Durban to stay with my old brother (Phakama Laurence Mhlongo). First year at my secondary school level I decided to enter Miss & Mr. Wiggins Secondary school 2009 and I took the title that year, the following year I entered Miss & Mr. Chesterville school 2010 and became first Princess.2013 I Matriculated and I took the following year as my gap year and I started to involve myself in different music programs.2015 I enrolled for my engineering studies at eThekwini (Malbourne) College .2016 I became interested to do Fashion modeling so I joined one of the leading modelling agencies in Durban called FCB (Famous Cosmi Black) agency .I attended different classes teaching us how to walk ,act and carry ourselves in industry and how to be in front of the camera.

2021 been working on my writing skills and acting working with Warriors KKC and hopefully will launch my clothing brand that I have been wanting to launch for so long called ZProsper which is saying (everything is okay) coming from my stage name Zandy Prosper . Zandy it what my late dad used to call me instead of Zandile and Prosper is a name that came from my late mother in a dream so I combined the two and here I am, I still look up to my two late parents and they will forever live in my heart. I am looking forward to do more work as I go forward especially in the modeling industry and I would like to thank Mgunda brand for pushing and giving me such opportunities like this and I am looking forward to continue and work with them.
