Hailing from Khayelitsha in Cape Town, Phumi always wanted to be in front of the camera, so in pursuing his dream he studied Drama at the Waterfront Theatre School. He also holds a four-year diploma in drama from the University of Cape Town.

He has since acted in numerous theatre productions including playing the title role in Shaka Zulu - The Musical, which debuted at the State Theatre in Pretoria in 2010.

In 2013 he had a starring role in an episode of the e.tv anthology series Mzansi Love: Kasi Style ("Out of Breath", Season 2, Episode 2). His character, James, is a hunky personal trainer whose client, despite falling for him, sees him as beneath her.

He currently resides in Johannesburg.
