Nokuthula Zwane sits down with Khanyi Mbau, who is preparing to be roasted in Comedy Central's latest edition of the comedy special.
South African actor, musician, socialite, and reality star Khanyi Mbau is set to take centre stage in a global first – the Comedy Central Roast of an African woman.
Mbau will sit fearlessly atop the Roast throne while comedians and other personalities sharpen their claws in a roast battle.
In a sit-down interview with Channel24 at Gemelli in Bryanston, Mbau unpacked her career growth and the opportunity to be Africa's first female roastee.
Fresh from Dubai, she said she now lives in two countries - that country and South Africa - and sees Mzansi as a place to work.
The 36-year-old's acting career has gained momentum in recent months with roles in Showmax's The Wife, stints in reality shows Young, Famous & African, Mbau Reloaded on BET and feature films, such as Happiness Ever After.
"I've been predominantly in front of the camera for about two years now.
Consistently, the universe has been so great to me that there's a new project every two months. I meet a new character, and that's what I'm busy with. I am constantly evolving into a greater person with a greater mind, but I'm still the same old G," she said.
In the past two years, the world has shifted since the Covid-19 pandemic, and Mbau reflects on how much "calmer" life has become.
