I’m both terrified & relieved,in this interview I get to open up and talk about things that I have never opened up about. My journey at True Love, the online conversation during my book release, family & more.

Catch the full interview tomorrow on @Mzansimagic at 20h00.

I never dress up except for functions. But tonight I’m going out with my girls and I’m going to dress up for them! 🥰✨🥂❤️

@BridgetMasinga Giirrrlll! You’re hysterical. 🤣🤣🤣
I have two weeks to get myself in gear. 😅
Much love to you and the little one. 🥰

So wait, now we have to tell SARS when we’re travelling overseas?! 🫠
Why?
Has anyone done this? How does it work?

[Lerato Tshabalala @LeratoTJ]

The vowalence bakithi! 😭😭😭

[Lerato Tshabalala @LeratoTJ]

@lesilicious1 Honestly! This year has been so turbo charged! 😩

[Lerato Tshabalala @LeratoTJ]

Next year better be the year of the snail or the tortoise because these 2026 fire horse speeds have got me suffering from serious whiplash. 😓

You can’t demand an employee’s full attention while paying them half a living. If you want exclusivity, make the salary exclusive.

I wish I could like this 50 more times!!!

I maintain, these five star hotel shower floors are getting dangerously slippery with each year. One day, they’re going to get sued by someone for breaking a leg. 🤞🏽

Being at the airport in South Africa - whether you’re flying domestically or not - is starting to feel like being at an international destination.
Also, I love watching people be so excited about being here. Taking photos at the airport the way we do when we’re in their countries

I cried so hard when Chadwick Boseman died. Like the whole day I was in tears. It was as though a family member had died.
What a blessing to have experienced his great gift. ❤️ #WakandaForever #TheBlackPanther

[Lerato Tshabalala @LeratoTJ]

Why did I tear up? 🥺

[Lerato Tshabalala @LeratoTJ]

@MsNtuli We had no clue that we were the last of the Mohicans. 🥹

[Lerato Tshabalala @LeratoTJ]

Oh, to have been at Moloko at 2am drunk-singing: “Damn homie I’m so tore, and I don’t think I’m ever gonna smoke no more, and I don’t think I’m ever drink no more, but fuck it, bartender you can bring me one more”. 🥹

It pains me to say this but Syd’s new album is mid. 🥺

Thankfully, the new Masego and Kelela are bangers. ✨

[Lerato Tshabalala @LeratoTJ]

@MvelaseP As someone who fractured an ankle two years ago, I empathise. Speedy recovery boo. ❤️

[Lerato Tshabalala @LeratoTJ]

Happy anniversary to my chomi @NeoMerafi 🥂
I love you so much friend! ❤️

[Lerato Tshabalala @LeratoTJ]

@timothymaurice I appreciate you. 🙏🏽

And then the tech bros want to gaslight us when we point out that they know exactly what they’re doing. Our attention is their money maker... Even if their moneymaking ways are harmful, dangerous and unethical, they don’t care.

Y’all remember when Instagram actually had an end? You’d see “You’re all caught up” and just close the app.

[Lerato Tshabalala @LeratoTJ]

As someone who has been intimated by cops before - three cops at the same time - when I wasn’t speeding, didn’t break the law or driving under the influence, this is triggering. This guy deserves justice. I’m proud of him for standing up for himself. That cop is despicable.

Help us find this brother so we can assist him with lodging a complaint against @JoburgMPD

Lawlessness can never be celebrated!

@Jaca_Patrick we hope there’ll be a statement today on steps you will be taking on this matter and that these officers will be placed on suspension.
