Born Ngcobo in the Eastern Cape,[5] her parents died and she had a daughter at a young age.[1] After these events, she had to beg from her community.[6] Working in Khayelitsha, Gubanca works for Philani Maternal Child Health and Nutrition Trust where she supports new mothers in townships to access care for their perinatal and antenatal health.[1][5][7]

As of 2024, Gubanca was living with HIV.[5]
