Khanyi Mbau is indeed an entertainer and TV personality who has been active in the industry for over 10 years. She gained prominence for her lavish lifestyle and marriage to a wealthy older man. While not much information was initially available about her family, it was later revealed that her late father was Soweto businessman Menzi Mcunu.
Through her father’s side, Khanyi’s sibling, Lasizwe Dambuza, entered the entertainment industry and had his own reality TV show called “Fake it till you make it” on MTV. Lasizwe’s show provided insight into their relationship and revealed that he is Khanyi Mbau’s brother from their father’s side. Lasizwe’s show also introduced other siblings from their father’s side. Here are some of them:
1. Thandeka:
Thandeka shares the same father with Khanyi and Lasizwe. Although she didn’t appear on Lasizwe’s show, she was featured on “Mbau Reloaded: Always Rise” on BET. Thandeka is the eldest sibling and has a close relationship with her sister. She also helps take care of Khanyi’s daughter when Khanyi is working or unavailable. Thandeka is a businesswoman, wife, and mother of four lovely girls.
2. Zakithi:
Zakithi was introduced when she appeared on Lasizwe’s reality TV show when the Mcunu siblings traveled to Cape Town. Not much information is available about her, but her Instagram page suggests that she works as a model.
3. Shantel:
Shantel also appeared on Lasizwe’s reality TV show when she was pregnant. In the subsequent season, she gave birth to a daughter, and Lasizwe jokingly claimed that the child was his. Shantel is a graduate who has a career outside of the entertainment industry.
The Mcunu siblings, including Khanyi, Lasizwe, Thandeka, Zakithi, and Shantel, maintain a close relationship and have a good bond with each other.
