Somizi graduates from fashion school

While many are judging his fashion sense, in October 2025, the flamboyant media personality graduated from fashion school.

Somizi decided to hone his skills and get certified at the Villioti Fashion Institute in Johannesburg. The institution offers a range of courses, including a Higher Certificate in Fashion, a Bachelor of Fashion and Honours, and short courses.

Some of the programmes can be done online. Expressing gratitude, Mhlongo thanked his close circle for their support, and also mentioned how proud he is of himself.

"SOMIZI, I AM SUPER PROUD OF YOU!" he exclaimed. "Thanks to my family. My friends for their love and support. My Fans for cheering me on from the beginning. @villiotifashion words can not explain. Special shout out to @moosas_fabrics, you made this journey easier," he ended off.
