“Why would I be on Ozempic when I own a holistic wellness brand? When you incorporate moringa into your life, you rarely gain the weight back,” she said.
The Mo & Mome star also opened up about what motivated her wellness journey. The 42-year-old star shared that after suffering a stroke six years ago, she vowed that she would not be in her forties and overweight.
“I’ve always been intentional about my health because I reached 120 kilograms at one point in my life, and I made myself a promise: I never want to be in my forties feeling overweight,” Mome explained.

Mome Mahlangu allays health fears amid viral photo
She emphasised that she is not anorexic or underweight and that her weight loss isn’t a sign of an underlying health condition. Mome Mahlanga called out society for being hypocritical and difficult to satisfy.
“The only thing I don’t want is to end up going back to being 120-something kilograms because I’m pressured by society. When you’re bigger, they complain. When you lose weight, they still complain,” she said.
She also explained that her current appearance reflects the changes that come with age. Saying people cannot expect her to look the same as she did in her 20s or 30s.
“At some point, I will lose weight, and I’m a human being. That’s just natural,” Mome Mahlangu said.
Apart from responding to concerns about her weight, Mome Mahlangu, who co-founded Boyznbucks, a well-known group that changed urban style, also announced her new brand, Mome Wellness Wear.
She described the brand as a blend between daily wear and lounge wear. Mome said the brand caters to all occasions, whether for work or relaxing at home.
