After her modeling career, using what she learned from the business, she also penned books. These include the nonfiction book "A Model for a Better Future" and a fictional book, "Beauty to Die For". She has written numerous eBooks: "Modeling: How to be Discovered", "Lean Clean", "Cheat Eat", "Nap Zap", "My Thyroid Journey", "Skin Within", "Slick Tips" and "Dieting Lessons" which can be found on Amazon.

Babalwa
was born in Cape Town in 1987 and raised in Langa Township. She
attended Rhodes High school where she matriculated in 2005.
Babalwa went and studied HR management at CPUT and graduated with
a Bachelors Degree in 2009. While looking for work she ended up as
a receptionist on a 3D film called Judge Dredd by Kalahari
Pictures, this was when she discovered film. Babalwa learned about
all the different departments while working on this project and
found Makeup to be extremely fascinating. She always knew that she
was born a creative and this was the time to explore that. She
then went on to a feature called Chronicle as a Makeup trainee and
never looked back. Babalwa trained on different shoots back to
back for longer than usual turning down opportunities to assist as
she felt that she needed to be as ready and strong as possible as
an assistant from day one, and this, she became. With the solid
foundation she had built during her learning period, she excelled
so much further than she had even expected to in such a short span
of time. About three jobs into assisting she was put forward to
HoD a local film, she had given herself 5 years for this and
within 2 years of assisting, she designed her first film called
While You Weren’t Looking. For this film she was nominated for her
first SAFTA award. Immediately after the film she got another job
as HoD for a local series called When We Were Black. She continued
as an assistant in between designing and then began to get more
work as a Makeup, Hair and SFX Designer and now she mainly
designs. Babalwa has now been in the industry for 12 years and has
grown tremendously since her training. She has a total of just
