Makhosazane ‘Khosi’ Twala popularly known as Khosi, was just a normal South African and a simple journalist trying to penetrate into the media scene with her subtile personality and her novice experience back in 2022-2023.
Likely to say, she was nothing compared to a 25-year-old lady hoping to get a well-paid job to better her life with great ambition, but how was she going to achieve all of that? Until one day, she came across a comment from a fan telling her to go for Big Brother Mzansi.
She managed to audition for one, the Nigeria and South Africa collaboration, called Big Brother Titans. This particular show brought 22 housemates from these two countries and 11 housemates each from the two countries. She was selected, and she saw herself in the house. The show began, and Khosi Twala shines so brightly. Her appearance on the “Big Brother Titans” show significantly boosted her public profile.
Her strategic game play in the Big Brother house garnered her a massive fanbase. What everyone talked about most about her or remembered her for, is the game she played, they claim it has never been played by anyone on the show before. She managed to make two men almost fight over her, had a boyfriend (Yemi) and a side boy (Thabang).
While her relationship was getting the buzz outside, she was doing a show within a show. She had this programme by herself where she called housemates and interviewed them, the show was called Khoffe with Khosi.
The 26-year-old Xhoza queen gained exposure on the reality show, impressing Ebuka and Lawrence with her presentation skills and gaining attention in her country and beyond for her exceptional skills in interviewing. That is where her show, Khoffee with Khosi, was birthed.
She eventually won the show, and her name, Khosi Twala, became a household name. After winning the show, Khosi Twala didn’t rest, her hard work and enthusiasm parachuted her to so many great places in South Africa, hosting events and brands rushing her. She’s given mileage to Omoda Motors when they were struggling to penetrate the market. Now they are the best, or one of the best, car brands in South Africa.
The Big Brother Titans winner continued to influence other top-notch brands like KFC, Vodafon, Philips, and many more. She was invited to most of the big shows in South Africa, Nigeria, Ghana, Botswana, and other countries as well. She made trips to Ghana, a gig to host a show recently.
