His the founder of FatherFigureZA, a Foundation that seeks to integrate man back into the family unit[3] and former Chairman of Midrand Heat Basketball Club.

Born on 22 March 1980 in Shiluvana, Tzaneen, Limpopo, South Africa, Shilubana was delivered at Douglas Smith Hospital, a missionary facility in his village.

The competition, organized by an international modeling agency, had scouted talent across South Africa, selecting 20 hopefuls—10 men and 10 women—from each province.

Fumani moved to Nelspruit to train and maintain his physique, while also enrolling in his second year of Industrial Engineering at Technikon SA, planning to continue his studies through distance learning while pursuing his modeling career in Europe.

A receptionist introduced him to Irene Mathe, a drama facilitator at TMAC, who believed Fumani suited a role in a play she had written.

Encouraged by this opportunity, Fumani returned home, informed his family of his decision to drop out of engineering, and began training for the end-of-year stage play.

His training progressed successfully, leading to his casting in an industrial project teaching people about HIV, run by a community theatre group from Mamelodi.

By the end of that year, while performing in "Vukani Ma Africa," the play Irene had first mentioned, at the Rendezvous Theatre, Fumani had a defining moment.

2002-2004: Transition to Professional Acting Convinced of his abilities, Fumani auditioned for a musical titled "The Agency and The Champion," produced by E-Productions and directed by Enrico Maart.

His performance caught the attention of Paul Grootboom, who was in the process of recruiting young talent for a training program at the South African State Theatre.

Under Grootboom's guidance, alongside peers such as Presley Chweneyagae and Zenzo Ngqobe, Fumani underwent intense training, often performing scenes from Shakespeare's works, including "Hamlet" and "Julius Caesar."

This exposure led to Fumani securing representation with Stark Raving Management, recommended by the late Mahlubi Kraai.

In 2005, "Relativity: Township Stories" opened at the National Arts Festival to critical acclaim, followed by the controversial production of "Cards," which featured full nudity and provocative themes.

Throughout this period, Fumani balanced stage performances with television roles, including appearances in "Hillside," "Soul City," and "Death of a Queen."
