Mkhize is a teacher at Dlambula Primary School, and when she is not teaching, she volunteers as a mini cricket coach and co-ordinator for KFC Mini Cricket’s Durban South region.
“In my younger years, I did not have the opportunity to develop in any sporting code, so I vowed that I will help develop and nurture young children to help them reach their potential in cricket,” said Mkhize.
