In September 2022 Mbali’s work was showcased at the David Krut Projects booth at the Joburg Art Fair, and in 2023 she was one of the three artists representing David Krut Projects at Latitudes Art Fair with brand new prints created at the David Krut Workshop with Sbonghiseni Khulu in the months prior.
