Khanyi Mbau bags Netflix nomination

When you mention the name Khanyi Mbau, many would bring up her cosmetic procedures or her controversial marriage to Mandla Mthembu. However, one thing's for certain: everybody knows that she is a big deal.

From her acting days on Muvhango to becoming one of the country's most recognised faces, with or without the skin lightening, her confidence, authenticity and self-assurance have helped her push boundaries and made her an unstoppable force in local entertainment, which is exactly what earned her latest nomination.

The queen of bling and Meet the Khumalos actress was elated after learning that she was nominated for the Netflix Reality Universe Superlatives in the Main Character Energy category, befitting of the reputation she has built for herself:

"I am overwhelmed with all the love and support from all of you … thank you so much from the bottom of my heart."

She is the first South African to be voted for the awards, and is pushing for votes on her social media pages to get her supporters to help her win.

Voting officially closes on 15 July 2025, and the winners will be announced on 17 July.
