Shamiso Mosaka takes on Turkey for a Brazilian butt lift
The Brazilian butt lift (BBL) takeover in South Africa is evidently still in full swing!
The latest celeb to book a surgical getaway to Turkey for a BBL is Born Into Fame star and radio presenter Shamiso Mosaka.
After rumours of a pregnancy made their rounds on social media, the 26-year-old media and internet personality put them to bed and shared with her supporters on Instagram her journey landing in Turkey and being treated at the Mono Clinic, the same plastic surgery facility that actor Khanyi Mbau entrusted with her latest procedure, a blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery.
Shamiso gave some insight into the luxurious treatment she received at the clinic and it's adjacent hotel and urged those watching to 'not take a BBL lightly.'
'I came to a foreign country by myself to have a surgery that is not child's play. A BBL is not a joke. Please understand me when I say this, it's not a f*****g joke.
'But I couldn't have been better taken care of. I mean, from airport transfers to the beautiful hospital room I had to my amazing surgeon Dr Eren [Ersöz]. Also, the hospital staff, the nurses in general were just amazing.'
Shamiso shares on her highlighted Instagram Stories that she got round the clock care after the procedure with an on-site nurse who also periodically did the lymphatic drainage massages needed to help with post-operative recovery.
Getting a BBL requires one to set aside weeks of recovery.
Dr Brian Monaisa, the head of plastic surgery at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital and founder of Marang Aesthetics, previously told TRUELOVE, 'After a BBL, it is important to stay off the new bum for the full three weeks to encourage fat survival.'
In a post-operation video shared by the clinic, Shamiso shares her experience with her BBL journey.
'I came all the way to Izmir, Turkey, to Mono Clinic to get a Brazilian butt lift done. Everything was easy, was made easy for me, where I was going to be picked up at the airport, I was picked up on time, I was then taken to the hospital. I got to rest, I got my blood taken and all my vitals taken.

'I then got to meet my surgeon. He wanted to do what I wanted on my body so we had the same vision for the results that I wanted. I was in the hospital for a night and they made sure I was good. My drips were always checked, someone checked in on me every 30 minutes to an hour so I felt really taken care of.'

Amapiano stars TxC makes BET history as the DJ duo claims major US award
South African amapiano duo TxC are the first DJ duo to win Best New International Act at the 2025 BET Awards. The award shared with Brazil's Ajuliacosta continues SA's strong presence at the long-standing awards ceremony following Makhadzi's 2024 win. Industry leaders highlight African music's growing global influence and commercial potential. South African amapiano duo TxC made history at the 2025 BET Awards, becoming the first DJ duo ever to be recognised in the Best New International Act category, jointly winning with Brazilian newcomer Ajuliacosta. Tarryn Reid and Clairise Hefke – collectively known as TxC – accepted their award at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles, marking another milestone for South African music on the global stage. The win cements amapiano's growing international influence and follows South African singer Makhadzi's victory in the 2024 ceremony in the Viewer's Choice: Best New International Act category. The Best New International Act category featured impressive South African representation, with Dlala Thukzin and Maglera Doe Boy also receiving nominations alongside artists from Nigeria, the UK, Tanzania, France, and Brazil. Prior to departing for Los Angeles, TxC was honoured with a send-off celebration at which industry leaders praised their groundbreaking achievement. READ | SA's Tyla, Maglera Doe Boy and Dlala Thukzin strike a chord with 2025 BET nods Monde Twala, senior vice president and general manager at Paramount Africa and BET Lead, sees TxC's success as part of a larger movement of African musical excellence gaining global recognition. 'For me, it's about culture and storytelling. If you look at the continent, Africa has great talent. Music and the drumbeat are our anchor, rhythm, and vibe,' said Twala. We are the new frontier – it's Africa's time to shine on the global stage. Our music is from an Afrobeats perspective and an amapiano perspective. Hip hop did it, too – the AKAs have won international awards, and the Casspers have been nominated in the past. Twala highlighted a growing list of African artists making international waves, including Diamond Platnumz, Tiwa Savage, and many others, creating unprecedented opportunities for emerging talent. When asked about African music's global significance, Twala drew focus to the continent's cultural richness as its unique selling point. 'What African culture brings is gold right now. We are magic, but I think it comes from our diversity. If you look at how broad this continent is, all the countries and their vastness, and the dynamics in terms of tribes and languages, we are so dynamic, colourful, and exciting. That's the edge we bring to the world,' he explained. View this post on Instagram A post shared by BET Africa (@bet_africa) Reflecting on South Africa's growing BET Awards presence, he noted past successes from artists like Black Coffee, Babes Wodumo, AKA Nasty C, and Tyla's recent triumph. 'It's beautiful to see amazing talent male, female, young, old – being able to represent the continent,' he said. Young people today must focus on how they can build their brands beyond borders, collaborate with artists across the continent, create business in music outside South Africa, and earn in dollars. He highlighted strategic brand development for artists seeking international success as a key goal up-and-comers should strive for. 'It's about being well-packaged. Always think about how you can package your brand as an artist. Have the right people around you,' he advised. 'It's about exploring new markets. If you're popular in Jozi, think about how to be popular in Lagos and then build your brand in Kenya, New York, and London. Today, we have social media and the internet, making African content and artists accessible worldwide. You have to take advantage of new media. ' News24 reached out to the BET award winners, who were unavailable for comment owing to the time difference and booked public engagements in Los Angeles.

Refilwe Modiselle's children's book set to educate a generation
In her love letter to albinism, acclaimed model and entertainer Refilwe Modiselle introduces 'Zizi's World: Through Her Vanilla Eyes,' a children's book that blends personal experience with powerful storytelling. Zizi's World follows the story of Keyanna, a child with albinism going through a world of discovery and self-acceptance. Far more a fictional character, Keyana embodies Modiselle's own journey, experiences and triumphs: 'I want to tell a story about a girl with albinism. And I want to base that story on elements of my life. Because I think the most authentic story I can tell about a life of a child with albinism is the story of a young child, a child that lived with albinism, which is me.' Having workshopped the idea with her co-author Melissa, she notes how beautifully they worked together. She shares how the journey was never about egos but more so about collaboration and education. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Refilwe Vanillablaq Modiselle (@refilwemodiselle) READ MORE | Bontle Modiselle on acting, marriage and motherhood As someone with no previous experience writing a book, she talks us through her inspiration. Behind Keyanna's eyes Keyanna is more than a child living with albinism. She happens to be a model, and she happens to stand for something. 'The character is quite strong, the character is quite resilient, which is a beautiful message for anybody to have. But the character as well loves themselves. And loving yourself is something that you find sometimes, especially with children, you know, if you're seen as different, which is an ableism conversation, about disability, about physical disability, that it might be a bit difficult to navigate in different spaces,' she shares. The story follows Keyanna as a third person. 'She's the character that the parents can speak to the child about,' she notes, 'And I think for adults, it's a third-party character who's the focal point of a story. It's easier to introduce your child to understanding that. And that's what Kaya's book is. It's an educational but multilayered story of hope that helps the world begin to learn but also unlearn the ideologies that they have of what can be their normal, so to speak.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Refilwe Vanillablaq Modiselle (@refilwemodiselle) Her family's influence in the book Growing up with albinism, Refilwe's family never made her feel different. Her sisters were her biggest fans and their bond, as seen in public, is still as strong as ever: 'My sisters had already been modeling and, when I wanted to join the industry, Bontle, specifically, would talk to a lot of these agents, and she would take my pictures to the agents. And they would say, no, there's no job for a person with albinism. And my sister would not take no for an answer. So, the significance of my family was that they fought for a lot of the rights that I have today, long before I was even aware of what my rights needed to be. They were a voice when I couldn't have one.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Refilwe Vanillablaq Modiselle (@refilwemodiselle) SPF became the norm in their house. It was not about her being the only one using SPF, but everyone began using SPF. 'I think what was beautiful is I was never isolated in the things that I had to use. Everybody had to use it. So, SPF was not just for me. Everybody had to use it. So, there wasn't a separation of like, oh you use this, and then me. No, it was everybody in the house, everybody puts on SPF. And I think that was important, you know. And I think what is important is that my family was very involved in the intricacies of this condition that I have. Because the reality is, they're carriers, they have the gene. Genetically, they're carriers of the albinism gene, which means they can have a child with albinism. And so being carriers meant they got to equip themselves with a lot of knowledge, and they got to equip themselves with a lot of understanding of my life and what my life would entail.' More than anything, Refilwe hopes kids take one important lesson from the book: 'Hope. The simplest thing. Hope and courage to believe in the beauty of what they are, who they are. The simple thing I want them to take is the real truth that they are beautiful as they are. And at the same time, they are worthy of love and of being loved.'

Bravo Le Roux talks about his music career and fatherhood
Born Sinesipho Peter a.k.a Bravo Le Roux, a talented South African hip hop artist and music producer. Born and bred in the vibrant township of Khayelitsha - Cape Town, Bravo often times describes himself as a 'township bru,' reflecting his humble beginnings and the cultural influences that shape his art. The stage name 'Bravo Le Roux' originated from Bravo's early days as a young soccer enthusiast at Kleinmond Pimary School, where the nickname stuck and eventually became synonymous with his musical identity. With a unique sound that blends hip hop rhythms with authentic township storytelling that resonates with audiences, Bravo Le Roux has been making waves in the South African music scene with collaborations from well established artists. Read more | From Khayelitsha to international runways, Mzukisi Mbane on turning passion into award-winning success In an interview with DRUM, Bravo told us how his passion for music started and how he grew very fond of being a creative. 'I used to play soccer for the Football Foundation in Gansbaai, a development for Newcastle from Britain. I played for the national team, the under 13-14, and that's when I also had the opportunity to partake in the soccer world cup in 2010. However, as I grew older music kept on tightening its grip on me then I outgrew my love for soccer, and I eventually gave music a chance,' he said. Bravo described his creative process in songwriting as natural, saying he doesn't think much but just allows his heart to lead him. 'I don't write a lot of songs, most of my songs are freestyle. I believe ideas, information or archives, have been left for us by our ancestors, so everything is in the universe, you just need to catch it. So, when I'm creating music, I'm very present, I listen to the universe, I listen to myself, my deeper self, I try to gather memories from experiences. Try to think how something made me feel and I tell a story based on that then just build from it.' Read more | KwaMashu-born runner, Nate Ngcobo, beats paralysis odds in Comrades Marathon As Father's month is celebrated in June, Bravo shared his thoughts on what it means to be a father. For Bravo, being a father is about more than just providing; it's about being present and being a source of love and protection for his daughter. He emphasises the importance of keeping things real and authentic with his child. 'I honestly don't want to be a musician to her. I don't want to be a superstar to her. I don't want to be Bravo Le Roux to her. I'd like her to figure out maybe 12 years later who her dad actually is. My primary role is to be her father and not a well-known figure. I want to instil or teach her values by being her dad, and one of those many values would be for her to know God, His kindness and grace, those are the values that really matter to me. I'd like her to get close to God and know that's actually our father. Lastly, I'd really like her to be a kind person, to extend kindness to others and to be very graceful,' Bravo said. He added that his approach to parenting is centered around giving his daughter the freedom to grow and develop into her own person. 'To be honest, I don't have any unrealistic expectations. It's my first daughter, it's my first time being a dad, and the moment I have expectations, I might get disappointed when they are not fulfilled. I am in her life to accompany her to become whatever she needs to become. It's not the other way around. I need to be there for her, to guide and support her.' Read more | Meet Lubelo Scott, a lawyer who grew up in prison and is now breaking barriers in court halls Addressing the current state of affairs in South Africa, particularly the GBV crisis and what measures can be taken, Bravo expressed a powerful viewpoint. 'GBV is really a crisis, and I don't think anyone should have to go through that, be it men or women, no one at all. And at home growing up I've experienced GBV in many layers, one of the reasons that made me not to want have kids as it really affected me. However, I think everything that needed to be done has been done. Women have done everything possible to keep themselves safe from violence. I believe now that there's nothing women can be told on keeping themselves safe as they've done it all already. And I'm raising a girl in this very vile world and society, and I'm forced to have such conversations with her but where do I even begin having a conversation with my child on protecting herself from being molested or abused? So, it really cuts deep and sad that we now must teach our sisters, daughters and mothers how to fight just to stay alive. Men just need to do better and stop abusing women,' he emphasised. Read more | Meet Xola Toto, the Gospel voice inspiring a new generation As Men's Mental Health Awareness is also observed in June, Bravo shared his thoughts on the importance of men prioritising their mental well-being. 'Men need to find safe spaces where they can be vulnerable. When you feel pain, you need to let it out so find a safe haven, even if it's in brotherhood, where you can meet every other day to just talk about stuff in an effort to not suffer alone. Also don't be sad or sulk about something forever, that causes your life to be stagnant which could lead to depression, if you want to be sad about something, do so but don't dwell or sulk about it for too long. Get back up, dust yourself and be happy for a new dawn, as worse as it is, someone out there has it worse than you,' he said. He concluded by saying he prioritises his mental health by not succumbing to the pressures of the industry. 'I prioritise my own mental health by not comparing myself to anyone. I make music because it makes me feel good, not because it makes me relevant or famous. So, if I release a song and it's not gaining traction as much, then it's okay I don't have to compare myself to anyone else, because the moment I do that, I'm no longer living authentically as I'll want to step up and be in that person's level - not that it's a bad thing being inspired but when it's done under pressure it costs you and I don't do that.'
