Khanyi Mbau: I finally found myself

Mzansi media personality and actress Khanyi Mbau always finds herself the subject of scrutiny whenever she posts a picture to social media.

Khanyi recently spoke to papers about how she was a lost soul and depressed for 12 years, but she has finally found herself.

Khanyi said ” I was not myself for the past 12 years, my past was haunting me. I used to run away from my problems going to nightclubs to drink my sorrows away because I was hoping things will get better”

If there’s anybody who knows a thing or two about skin lightening, it’s Khanyi Mbau.

Just a few weeks ago All4women posted an article about “Khanyi Mbau’s guide to ‘safely lightening your skin”

After all, she’s been doing it for the past 12 years and has the complexion to prove it.

Khanyi recently took to Instagram Live video, she said skin lightening is something not unusual in the entertainment industry.

She said, “All your pop stars lighten their skin. They may not be as honest and open as I am. 90 per cent of your celebrities lighten their skin. It is part of the game. Remember our game is different from your game, it is a culture. It is how we play. We don’t want to look ordinary because we do not live an ordinary lifestyle.”

She added that she doesn’t like wearing makeup a lot and lightened skin looked better on set and on Instagram.

In the video, she tells women to embrace any beauty regime they are happy with and that being black is a state of being.
