In 2012, Mugovhani joined an international production of the musical The Lion King, produced by Hong Kong Disneyland, in the role of Nala. For the production and performances she moved to Hong Kong for a year and a half.[1] In 2013, she landed her first role in television, acting in the mini-series Remix,[2] as well as acting in the soap opera Scandal!.[1]
In 2015, Mugovhani starred in the lead role of the movie Ayanda, directed by Sara Blecher. This role earned her many accolades, including the Best Actress in a leading role award at the 12th Africa Movie Academy Awards,[5] the Best Actress in a feature film award at the 10th South African Film and Television Awards,[6][7] and the Best Actress award at the 2015 Africa International Film Festival.[8] At the 2016 Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards, she was nominated for Best Actress in a Drama, but didn't win.[4]
In 2017, Mugovhani had a recurring role in the soap opera Isidingo on SABC 3.[4] Also, in the same year, she starred in the soap opera Ring of Lies in the role of Rendani, a Musangwe fighter who pursues her dream of becoming a champion boxer, despite her conservative father's desires.[4] In 2020, after a hiatus of a year, she starred in the series Still Breathing, where she portrayed a mother and wife for the first time,[9] and in the South African comedy film Seriously Single.[4][10]
Mugovhani has said in an interview that there is a difference performing on stage and on screen, needing to project her voice differently. This challenged her when she transitioned from theatre to television and film, as well as made it hard for her to be able to perform on stage after filming.[11]
