MEDIA PERSONALITY LERATO KGANYAGO AND HER HUSBAND ALLEGEDLY BUY A MALL


 

 

 
Lerato Kganyago, who is living it up in Dubai with her husband, took to the picture-sharing app to reveal one of their biggest wins of 2024.Lerato Kganyago revealed that she and her husband allegedly purchased a few buildings and a mall in Pretoria.

Part of the post reads, “This year had a few challenges, personally… but we bought a few buildings and an entire mall in PTA!”

However, she did not openly reveal the name of the mall they allegedly bought. On the other hand, there is no evidence confirming the purchase excerpt from the Instagram post.

Lerato Kganyago seemingly revealed that she is spreading her wings to the family business.

She made it known that she is now taking in fewer gigs, seemingly spending more time learning from her husband, who is lauded as one of the biggest business moguls in South Africa.MAKING HEADLINES

After all, this is not the first time the two have made headlines about their business ventures.

In 2022, the Metro FM radio presenter, on Valentine’s Day, a big day in her books, revealed her new business venture in a lavish OTT announcement, thanks to her partner, Thami Ndlala.

Lerato Kganyago was reportedly gifted the luxury boutique hotel 12 Hillel On Villa and Spa.

Against the big gesture that made headlines, City Press reported that sources had claimed Kganyago was only the “face of 12 On Hillel Villa and Spa, not its owner.”

The news set social media abuzz, leading to an official statement being released to clarify the damning reports.

“12 On Hillel would like to publicly rectify misinformation in the press and social media regarding Ms Lerato Kganyago’s ownership of our properties,” read the statement.

The statement also revealed that Kganyago owned the Amour restaurant and was part owner of the luxury hotel.

Inside Tamia Mpisane’s Mum Lobolo🐄

Last frame: My favourite ❤️ my father in law!

Matthew 19:6 “So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate”

My kings and queens thank you so much for the congratulatory calls, messages, DMs. I’m so humbled and I appreciate each and every

We found out a bit more about the Mkhize and Mpisane family’s new bride, Tamia Mpisane (25), and here’s a bit of what we know:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
She’s originally from Richards Bay and was raised by her paternal grandparents.
Like Andile, soccer is a family business. Her uncle, Sfiso Biyela, is the Chairman of Richards Bay FC.
She’s the oldest of three siblings – she has a younger brother and sister, and like Andile, is extremely close to her mother who she describes as her best friend. She’s a student at Varsity College, studying law, and is also a model. Tamia has also worked as a consultant helping consumers with improving and managing their credit score ratings, which her new husband’s family says makes her perfect for Royal AM’s CSI strategy in coming months.
Tamia’s family values the importance of education and academics. “During lobola negotiations, which took place on Friday, 17th December, tertiary learning was an important talking point during the discussions so that as Tamia integrates into her new family, she’ll be supported and encouraged when she goes back to her studies next year,” the family spokesperson has told us.
Like Andile and the rest of the Mkhize-Mpisane family, Tamia will be based between Johannesburg and Durban for both home and work.

Siza From UltimatumSA Netflix Says I Do To Her Lover Lindile 💍👰

I have to disagree on Thabi and Genesis, I feel like Thabi was into Lindelani more than her partner. Also Siza and Nkateko would’ve made such a soft couple🫶🏾. Lebo should’ve paired with Isaac, they made so much sense sana. I also feel like Aiden and Courtney new what they wanted even before the show, I feel like they just wanted the spotlight🤷🏾‍♀️. All in all it was a great show and I can’t wait for the reunion this week💃🏾🤌🏾

 

 

 

 

 

On the Ultimatum SA, I beleive that only two couples should’ve gotten engaged, Thabi & Genesis and also Courtney & Aiden. I don’t even know what Sizakele was doing with that other guy because clearly akamthandi.
Also, Khilani Mbappe was right about Tsonga people because I think I know which family Nkateko comes from, if hiyo it would’ve never been easy for Khanya to let go nje. I am also judging him harshly for going back after that girl poured wine on him, what a vile vile person.
Overall, it was very entertaining, we spent our Sunday watching it and couldn’t even believe the mess we were seeing. Also, Ruth is my fighter, what a gorgeous gorgeous girl. I love just how decisive she is, I’d initially wanted her to be paired up with Lindelani but I am glad she didn’t because naye u problematic nje. That Nolla yena shouldn’t even be on my lips because what a worm!
The only people who made sense in the show were those who did so to be better people for their partners, but really as Thato Boitumelo Mukwevho was saying akho need to go to such a show as lovers, like rather break up he, why do you need other people to convince you to be with the person you are with?
