Hailing from Khayelitsha in Cape Town, he matriculated from Matthew Goniwe Memorial High School in 2007 and later studied at the New Africa Theatre Academy, graduating in 2010.

A founder member of the Imbawula Theatre Company in Khayelitsha, he made his professional acting debut in Lara Foot's stage play Solomon and Marion, which first ran at the Baxter Theatre in Cape Town in 2011.

The show was later staged in Johannesburg, Washington DC, the Edinburgh Festival, Birmingham and London.

In 2014, his one-hander stage play The Champion - which tackles domestic violence - was nominated for Best Script at the Baxter's Zabalaza Theatre Festival.

It later won him a Fleur du Cap award for Best Performance in a Revue, Cabaret or One-Person Show.

He also had a guest starring role as Tumi in an episode of the Starz pirate drama series Black Sails, in 2017.

Khayalethu landed his first starring role in television when he was cast as Soda in the M-Net drama series Reyka, a co-production between the UK and South Africa.
