1. Mzansi People Went All In on a Picture of a Family Wearing Matching Outfits That Were Dubbed "SA Gucci”
Matching outfits are cute, but choosing blanket material as “the look”, is definitely questionable. A snap of a fam wearing proudly African blankets as means of matching outfits left the comment section blazing.
Most people have had a moment where they have worn an overly floral item of clothing that could easily be mistaken for curtains, but purposefully wearing blankets is not a choice many make.

Samkelo Lelethu Mdolomba, better known as Samthing Soweto, just stays an industry fav. While Sam's been making headlines lately for his incredible weight loss, the musician and his fans go way back. South Africans were first introduced to the soulful vocalist back in 2017 when the relatively unknown singer made his debut on Sun-El Musician's hit song 'Akanamali'. Still, there's so much more to the Soweto artist.
Music helped him escape a life of crime
While the world-famous artist now enjoys the many privileges that come with stardom, including lots and lots of moola, growing up things did not come so easy.

5. Stunning Homes Built in Village in Venda, Limpopo Spark Land Debate on Social Media
Villages in Venda, Limpopo have some stunning homes. Seeing pictures of the mansions on social media left the comment section buzzing with opinions. Some questioned the land debate after seeing these homes.
The land debate is a hot topic in Mzansi with many believing that people of colour are entitled to land that was taken from them back in colonial times. However, some feel the land is there and the people have it, or how would these homes exist?
Twitter page @AfricaFactsZone shared a couple of pictures showing the big homes that have been built in the area known as Venda in the Limpopo province. Some of these homes look like pictures from a holiday magazine – they are breathtaking!
