Boity Honors Her Gogo With Heartfelt Throwback 1 Year After Painful Goodbye

Boitumelo Thulo, affectionately known as Boity, is one of Mzansi’s most-loved stars—she’s a rapper, actress, entrepreneur, and reality TV queen who’s been serving black girl magic for years.

But even icons like her feel the weight of loss.

The media darling recently marked one year since the passing of her beloved gogo, Lelo Thulo, in an emotional tribute that touched the hearts of thousands.

Boity shared, “A whole year without you… now you fly high with your kind.”

The words hit hard as she posted heartwarming throwbacks with her grandmother, showing off the love, laughter, and special bond they shared.

One clip had everyone shouting “Gogo wa rocka!” as Lelo was spotted sipping Hennessy on the rocks, no ice, like a true boss babe.

It wasn’t just a moment; it was a vibe.

Boity’s post reminded everyone that gogo wasn’t just a granny—she was a whole mood, dripping with class and kasi confidence.

Mzansi showed up hard in the comments to comfort their fave.

“Now I miss my gran,” one person said, while another added, “Her spirit is clearly still guiding you.”

It was a tearjerker, with tributes and prayers flowing as fans remembered their own family angels.

She’s not just mourning—she’s celebrating.
