South African reality TV star Faith Nketsi trended on social media after celebrating another trip around the sun. However, it wasn't so much the festivities that had the online community talking as the socialite's age.
On Tuesday, 30 December 2025, the Have Faith star celebrated her 31st birthday in the presence of her close friends and her daughter, Sky.
While she never dedicated an Instagram post to her special day, having last posted a promotional video on 28 December, Faith managed to repost some birthday shoutouts on her story.
Also on her story were several highlights from her vibrant birthday party hosted at the Louis Nightclub in Rosebank on the 28th. Instagram user leroyvzn shared a video of Faith dancing and enjoying herself at the club, with more photos posted by Twitter (X) user Saltiesunmasked.

The post ignited immediate reactions from the online community, many of whom were debating over Faith's surprisingly young age despite her trackrecord of scandals.
She has been a fixture in the South African entertainment industry for over a decade, and her journey from Queen Twerk to a mother and reality TV star has been paved with several high-profile controversies, from her steamy video with her ex-boyfriend to her marriage to businessman Nzuzo Njilo.
The debate surrounding her past raised many concerns about how truly young many ladies in the entertainment industry are when they are first introduced to the high-stakes world of fame.
