Can you believe it's been 25 years since Mzansi was first introduced to the talent that is Claire Mawisa? Neither can we.

Two and a half fruitful decades later, Claire is still standing, re-inventing herself and she's still out here looking like a 25-year-old!

The presenter has stood the test of time in the industry and continues to shine in various spaces. Claire broke into the industry as an SABC1 continuity presenter back in the 90s and has never looked back since then.

Claire announced that as part of her 25-year celebrations and the countdown to her 40th, she graced the cover of Balanced Life magazine.

"What an incredible validation this Balanced Life (ZA) cover was, in this, my #countdowntoforty! At the beginning of my career, they said my days in the industry were numbered. Just look at God! 25 years and counting... out now! get your copy! keen to hear your feedback," she wrote on Instagram.

Our feedback? The woman is timeless.

Here are 5 things that cement the above statement.

Queen of reinvention 

25 years later, Claire is still relevant and slaying in her lane.

Queen of longevity.

Just look at all those covers. She has risen over and over again.

25 years in the biz and still counting... #aksaboutme #throwbackthursday

Her graceful demeanor and pearls of wisdom

Most people, who have met Claire don't have one bad thing to say about her and for the rest of us watching her from a distance, she sure does share some wise words.

Just read the post below.

She speaks her mind

Claire isn't one to call unnecessary attention to herself, but also just hold back on her opinion for likes.

Queen of locks and the undisputed national crush!

Claire is probably one of the few women in SA entertainment that has crushes from different generations. Back in the day Claire's posters were probably on walls or lockers, while now she's probably on someone's screensaver and she wins #WCW every Wednesday.

She's one of the most beautiful women in Mzansi and if we are called to compete in the global #FinePeople politics, we would win if we sent her to represent us.

Also, she's not her hair but she sure does rock those dreadlocks.
