Mbalie Dhlamini aka The Extra Melanin:
So, that ‘Extra Melanin’ may explain the additional E in Mbalie, but it’s also the name of her ‘reality web series’ and YouTube channel! Here’s the trailer:
This clip, in which she introduces her mom to amapiano, has 77,000 views:
You can also follow her on Twitter:
And Instagram (eat beforehand – there’s plenty food!)
Mbali Mbongo aka Flowers:
Going one step better in the amapiano stakes, her almost namesake Mbali has an amapiano track out!
Follow her on Twitter:
And Instagram.
Nthabiseng Sebota aka Nthabi:
Looking at the highlights on Nthabi’s Instagram, the question is: what hasn’t she done?! She’s in this Nando’s advert:
This 1st For Women ad:
And countless more! Born for TV much? She’s also on Twitter:
Tshegofatso Bopape aka Ashanti:
Tshego is less active on social media, but a look at her Instagram profile reveals that she was a guest speaker at a Phenomenal Women Hangout earlier this year:
Noxolo Sibanyoni aka Noxy:
Noxy hasn’t tweeted in a while but she is active on Instagram – and we learned that she has a hot beau:
And a beautiful (big-haired) baby!
Paballo Shai aka Pablo/Pabi:
Ah, Pabi – the first to go... UPDATE: This is her Twitter page – and over on her Insta, we learned that she’s a twin!
Gontse Makgoba aka King Culture:
The second to go, and busy on social media!
But from the moment we spied him, we knew he looked familiar… Of course, he was one of two runners-up to Tshego Koke in the 2017 MTV Base VJ Search!
Siphesihle Sangweni aka Lamza:
Lamza is active on Twitter and Instagram – just not very! Of more interest, on his Facebook he’s punted previous TV experience on Generations: The Legacy and Rhythm City.
Damian Ngema aka Dames Dawg:
Damian has pages on talent-seeking sites Starquality and Castseekers, and he posts A LOT on his Twitter (but not so much on his blog). But ladies: his Instagram is where it’s at!
Ellis Nkogatse aka Trap Monate:
Trap Monate is a “trap star” with multiple tunes out – including one with Nasty C! He’s also involved with a bitcoin company called Jozicoin, which he’s plugging on his Twitter:
His Instagram is rather quiet though…
Kabelo Sepanyane aka “Ratz”:
Well, damn – Ratz was hard to find on social media! We know he’s friends with Pope from season 1 and #UltimateSummerVibe, and they share a Twitter account. On their shared Instagram, they’re punting a new track from their Six.Nine project!
Isaiah Letsoalo aka Bomba eCute:
And finally, early fave Bomba. He’s doing his bit for Mbali over on Twitter:
And head to his Instagram for loads of eCute!
