South African media personality Minnie Dlamini is making headlines as the cover star for Forbes Africa’s prestigious Over 30 Under 50 list. The digital cover celebrates her journey from beloved TV personality to businesswoman.

The announcement, which she proudly shared on X, has been met with excitement from fans, with many praising her resilience and career evolution. However, as with any significant accolade, critics also question whether she fits the profile of other honourees.

Minnie’s journey: From TV darling to businesswoman

Minnie first stole Mzansi’s heart when she entered the entertainment scene as a presenter on Live Amp. She quickly became a household name, hosting major award shows and securing acting roles. However, her ambitions went beyond the screen.

Fans celebrate Minnie’s achievement

Social media has been buzzing with congratulatory messages for Minnie. Many fans see this as a well-deserved moment for the star and applaud her ability to stay relevant and expand her career.

"Wow, why did they choose this picture, though."

Another fan, @Blaq_Mo, added:
