Nonhle Thema is once again the centre of social media attention, and this time, the online community found itself gushing over her latest photos.

On 3 February 2026, the media personality shared new photos of herself showing off her new hair installation and makeup, courtesy of Elite Glam and Kaykay Hair.

Having made her return to the spotlight, Nonhle is using her influence to attract her former audience to her new business ventures.

In 2011, the former TV star had a viral social media meltdown, in which she bragged about her fame and fortune while criticising other celebrities. This led to her losing endorsement deals, collaborations with top brands and loyal fans, affecting her livelihood and public image.
