Queen of Bling Khanyi Mbau is one of SA’s most influential celebs according to Google Trends.
Google Trends is a free tool that provides insight into web search trends. The research shows that Mbau is the most searched for local celeb followed by Bonang Matheba in second place and singer and songwriter, Lira in third.
Best known for her scandalous behavior and controversial lifestyle, Khanyi made her e.tv debut back in 2010 when she got hot and steamy on the set of Scandal! playing a character that was very similar to her real-life persona - a rich socialite whose marriage to an older man was on the rocks.
Khanyi has since grown up and cleaned up her act in the new reality show, Reality Check together with Nonhle Thema and Babalwa Mneno.
Khanyi also starred as Thandiswe in the e.tv drama,eKasi: 3 Months to The Deedearlier this year. Produced by Blq2Work Productions, Khanyi starred as a humble and down-to-earth woman from the townships who vows to stay celibate until her wedding day. Definitely not the Khanyi we know and love!
InMzansi Love: Kasi Style – Out of Breath last month, Khanyi played Kgomotso, a beautiful and successful woman who fights the growing attraction to someone she believes is socially and intellectually beneath her.
Khanyi can be seen kicking off her stilettoes and doing some good on Reality Check, every Saturday at 6.05PM.
