Nomuzi "Moozlie" Mabena recently took a nostalgic trip down memory lane on 15 January 2025, reflecting on a 13-year career that has seen her transform from a budding presenter-hopeful into an industry powerhouse.

The rapper and TV personality was invited to stand as a guest judge for the SuperSport MVP Talent Search as the brand looks to expand and welcome new faces to its screens.

Reflecting on the incredible opportunity through footage, Moozlie described it as a "full-circle moment," looking back at her career from auditioning to be a television presenter to now being seen as a mentor and industry veteran.

"One day you’re standing in an audition line, hoping for the best, and the next, you’re an industry vet with 13 years of experience. LOOK AT GOD! Being a guest judge on @supersporttv MVP Talent Search was such a crazy full-circle moment. Proof that God is able and faithful!"

The self-proclaimed New Age Mabrr's journey was ignited in 2012 when she won the MTV Base VJ Search, a life-changing moment that instantly catapulted her into the spotlight as one of the country’s most electric TV presenters. It was also where the iconic "Constavacious Glammazzonnn with two Z’s and three n’s" originated.

She later used her versatility to successfully pivot into the music industry, rebranding herself as "Moozlie" and carving out a space as a rapper and fashion icon.

Her rise in the South African entertainment landscape is a masterclass in versatility and staying power. Over the past decade, she has navigated the highs and lows of show business and evolved from a newcomer to an influential mentor who now shapes the careers of the next generation of broadcast talent.
