Rorisang Thandekiso big and beautiful hair
The TV and radio personality has taken South Africa by storm with her Christian movement, #JesusThisJesusThat. Over the years, she has explored various styles of big hair, and it has become her signature look.
In her TRUELOVE interview in 2023, Thandekiso spoke about her fascination with big hair growing up, drawing her inspiration from amazing women like Nomsa Nene, Noxolo Grootboom and Diana Ross. In this interview she also speaks about how she navigated her hair loss journey as a public figure.
We spoke to hairstylist Asiphe Sonjica on working with Rorisang, her hair evolution and her favourite looks.
'Rori has embraced and evolved in her well-known big and bold hairstyles quite well for the past years. I personally like how all her big hairstyles suit her, at some point I can't seem to have a clear vision of Rori without her big curly hair.

'Even though for some events I go for a different look (hairstyles) depending on the occasion and the outfit of the day. I find her very interesting in a straight hair [look] even though she finds it very high in maintenance.'
She says what sets Rorisang's hair journey apart from others in the industry is having to embrace and accept herself without any pressure of wanting to fit into social beauty standards.

Asiphe shares that her most ultimate hairstyle on Rorisang.
'But most ultimate hairstyle has to be the one I did when we were shooting Wheel of Fortune a sleek back braided ponytail that created four different looks. I twisted and turned the tail to create a crown in front which left the crew stunned including contestants.
'What stood out about the hairstyle was the sleek back design something very different and you wouldn't imagine Rori in such kind of hairstyle. To end it with a braided crown was amazing and mind blowing my creative skills were on another level, at that moment I realised how precious it was to get such opportunities to showcase my talent in the industry.'
From listening to her on the airwaves in the morning on Metro FM and seeing her on TV screens, it's clear that her beautiful aura and bold personality perfectly complement her big hair.
Here are a few moments when she truly rocked her big hair:
1. The Disciple, Book Cover

Marvel's EYES OF WAKANDA Will Explore the Hidden History of Black Panthers and Tease MCU Cameos — GeekTyrant
Get ready to return to Wakanda, but in a very different way. Marvel Studios is about to drop a brand-new animated series called Eyes of Wakanda , and it's taking the Marvel Universe deep into the past, showing us how the legacy of the Black Panther has echoed through time. Created by Todd Harris and produced by Ryan Coogler, Eyes of Wakanda is a four-part anthology series that journeys across different eras of Wakandan warriors. Forget what you thought you knew about the Marvel timeline, this is about ancient history, untold stories and battles, and how the powerful nation of Wakanda has always been more than meets the eye. 'It's about how Wakandans intersected through history — those futuristic, Star Trek-level Africans who bounce through time,' Harris told Empire. These aren't just any stories either. 'One of them features a fierce group of seafaring people, inspired by actual Bronze Age tribes. That idea came straight from Coogler. 'They were raiders who robbed their way through the Mediterranean,' Harris explained. 'Which gave us an open [book] in terms of creating a world based on very vague but dramatic circumstances.' That blend of real-world history and Wakandan mythology opens the door for some seriously cool storytelling. While the series aims to introduce a lineup of fresh heroes from Wakanda's past, Harris also said, 'There's definitely going to be some familiarity,' teasing that some established MCU characters will also appear. With Eyes of Wakanda is set to premier this Friday, August 1, on Disney+, fans won't have to wait long to dive in. Between its historical scope, potential MCU cameos, and new takes on Wakandan lore, this series is shaping up to be something pretty cool. Source: Empire

Visit Newcomer Peregrine for Bengali Chicken, Stay for the Red Bull Dessert
is an editor of Eater's South region, covering Atlanta, Nashville, Miami, New Orleans, and the Carolinas. She has been writing about the food scene in the Carolinas and Savannah for 12 years. Erin has resided in Charleston, South Carolina, for the past 20 years. Welcome to the first installment of Scene Report in the Carolinas, a new column in which Eater captures the vibe of a notable North or South Carolina restaurants at a specific moment in time. To describe Raleigh newcomer Peregrine as 'Southeast Asian' cuisine is too narrow, and to say 'global' is a bit broad (really, can any one restaurant represent the entire world?). Peregrine is chef Saif Rahman's life on a menu. He was born in Bangladesh, lived in Queens, married a woman from Mexico, and now lives in North Carolina. All of these cultures combine to make Peregrine, along with a handsome setting, thanks to co-owner Patrick Shanahan. The vibe: Peregrine is located in the new mixed-use development the Exchange, but the sleek interiors and verdant surroundings do a good job of erasing the memory of a 20-minute Uber from downtown Raleigh, past several strip malls, and wondering if the driver is lost. (Note: This writer worked in Raleigh in the early aughts and doesn't remember anywhere being referred to as 'Midtown.') Inside are grand arches, Roman clay walls, Moroccan lime plaster, large pots of greenery, and recessed lighting to set the scene (Shanahan is a filmmaker after all). The soundtrack is bouncy with house and disco music. The other diners are mostly couples on a date night and young professional friends out for a fancy evening. Chicken skins and bubbles. Tim Waldron What to drink: The Tokyo Highball is a refreshing start to the evening with a punch of lemon and ginger to even out the burn from the Japanese whisky. The sommelier/maitre d', Amy Ostrout, makes great recommendations. Follow whatever she tells you. The Nero d'Avola sparkling rosé ($16) is an artful pairing with the berbere-seasoned chicken skins with chicken fat aioli ($15). On the menu: If you've been following Peregrine, you've probably seen the Bengali wedding chicken ($42) all over Instagram with its menacing claw hanging off the plate — order it. If you're squeamish, ask your date to break down the half chicken, and then have a good think about where your meat really comes from. The 'yummy sauce' (their words, not ours) is indeed 'yummy' with soft notes of baking spices and richness that elevate the humble bird. The tallow-roasted carrots ($15) are a vegetarian's nightmare because the humble root vegetable is confited in beef fat. The salsa matcha (with chapulines) topping the dish is an homage to Rahman's wife's Mexican heritage. This bite will have you question: Is this really a carrot? Don't skip dessert. Pastry chef Khoi Trong Ha puts out some really fun sweets, including a truffle inspired by the gas station Sheetz — spoiler alert, it's filled with Red Bull. Go here for: An unexpected meal in an unexpected place, even if you have to tell your Uber driver, 'Yes, I'm sure this is where I'm supposed to be going.'
