Should We Call It “Old and Famous”? Khanyi Mbau Returns To Netflix’s “Young, Famous And African”!

So here’s the thing, guys – Netflix’s “Young, Famous and African” is back, and Khanyi Mbau is making her grand return! But can we just take a moment and ask why are we calling these oldies “young”? I mean, WTF?

Our favourite South African socialite and media personality, Khanyi Mbau, just teased her fans with news about her return to TV. She dropped a teaser video on Instagram with the caption: “I think it’s time … Miss me? #OOOwithNetflix.” Yeah, Khanyi, we did miss you, but let’s be real – you’re 39 now. How do we call a 39-year-old “young”?

The “Young” Cast

Besides Khanyi, who’s nearly hitting the big 4-0, we’ve got Naked DJ from South Africa, who’s almost 50! Come on, guys! And let’s not forget Kefilwe Mabote, the newbie joining the season at 35. Not so young anymore, hey?

From Nigeria, the Idia family is pushing 50, Ini Edo is over 40 already, and then there’s Diamond Platnumz representing Tanzania with his 44-year-old baby mama. Really, Netflix? Where are the real young stars like Natasha Thahane, Cindy Mahlangu, Ama Qamata, or even Mihlali?

Missing the Point

Instead of Naked DJ, give us Kabza De Small! Naked DJ isn’t even famous or young, if we’re honest. Nigeria’s got stars like Wizkid, Ayra Starr, and Regina Daniels – why are we stuck with the golden oldies? What a missed opportunity!

Here’s the list of the cast:

 

• Tanzanian music sensation Diamond Platnumz
• Nigerian stylists to the stars Swanky Jerry
• South African Influencer Kefilwe Mabote
• Nigerian Actress Ini Edo
• Nigerian actress Annie Macaulay-IdibiaSouth African DJ and radio host Naked DJ with partner, model Kayleigh Schwark
• Ugandan socialite and businesswoman Zari ‘The Boss Lady’ Hassan and husband Shakib Lutaaya
• South African rapper Nadia Nakai
• Ghananian-American singer Fantana
• Namibian model and businessman Luis Munana
• Actress and media personality Khanyi Mbau
