South African actress Khanyisile "Khanyi" Mbau took to social media to honour a milestone in her life: her 40th birthday.
The socialite, famous for her larger-than-life personality and controversial lifestyle, marked the milestone with a moving letter to herself, reflecting on her journey riddled with scandals and luxury.
On 15 October, Mbau looked back on her life and the woman she has become.
"I honour you today in abundance, Khanyisile Mbau. Today, I bow before the vessel. Khanyisile, the body that carried my light, the name that walked through storms, laughter, and silence so that my spirit could learn, burn, and rise."

In the message, Khanyi admires her strength while praising her resilience in enduring some of life's toughest challenges..
She concludes her message with a powerful and deeply emotional affirmation:
"You are my true manifestation and perfect creation. FOREVER THE QUEEN OF BLING."
Khanyi's life and career have been defined by dramatic reinvention, from her highly controversial bling era, short-lived marriage to the late Mandla Mthembu, who was 30 years her senior, to her eventual career success.
She used her notoriety to maintain her public profile, where she transitioned from being solely a socialite to a dedicated media personality, taking on roles in TV and film, from starring on Muvhango to featuring on the hit reality show Young, Famous & African.

Her letter was met with praise and celebratory messages from her adoring supporters.
