Newton was born in London, England, the
daughter of Nyasha, a Zimbabwean health-care worker, and Nick Newton, an
English laboratory technician and artist.
Her birthplace has been incorrectly
reported to be Zambia in some biographies, but she has confirmed in
interviews that she was born in London. The name “Thandiwe” means
“beloved” in Ndebele, Zulu, Xhosa or Swazi, and “Thandie” is pronounced
/ˈtændi/ tan-dee in English. According to Newton, her mother is a Shona
princess.
Regarding her childhood, Newton remarked
at a TED conference: “From about the age of 5, I was aware that I
didn’t fit. I was the black, atheist kid in the all-white, Catholic
school run by nuns. I was an anomaly.” Brought up in London and
Penzance, Cornwall, she studied dance at the Tring Park School for the
Performing Arts and at sixteen, while recovering from a back injury, she
successfully auditioned for her first film role. She then went on to
study social anthropology at Downing College, Cambridge, from 1992 to
1995, where she achieved a 2:1.
