If there’s one thing we love to see, it’s carefree Black women, winning as the world continues to open up. Whether serving looks on our screens or on a vacation, we love to see stars do what they do best – shine! Better known for being feisty and charismatic but more so for her talent as a radio presenter, actress and businesswoman, Thando Thabethe has landed her own reality show called The Unstoppable Thabooty which premiered on the 15th of April on BET.

After airing the first episode, Thando Thabethe took to social media to share her gratitude to her supporters. Talking to Nounouche, the 947 drivetime host said she knows reality shows are known to bring drama from all angles but that’s not what hers is about. “This is me opening up my space and letting the world see the bare Thando Thabethe and what I’m all about.”

The Unstoppable Thabooty takes you on an unpredictable and unorthodox journey. At 32, Thando is no stranger to our screens and when asked what made her venture into the reality TV space, this is what she had to say. “I have to admit, I’m not much of a reality show person but I’m treating this as a memoir. A celebration of my milestones and life itself.” According to the press statement, “this new and exclusive offering to BET Africa will detail how she takes on the world with her family and close friends.” 

It’s a also great to note that Thando is styled by our very own Creative Director and partner Lesego Kgosimolo of Advice by KgosiLesego
