SA-born Hollywood actress Thuso Mbedu's accolades are piling up, most recently gracing the cover of a women's magazine.
Though she is wearing a bikini on the cover, she said she knew her grams would be taken aback but would also be telling the whole world that her grandchild was on the cover on the magazine.
Taking to her Instagram timeline, she wrote how her grandmother was always proud of what she and her sister did.
“Dear granny, your girl has achieved a lot of her goals, but never did she ever imagine herself being on the cover of Women's Health mag SA. She’s on there with her ABS and booty cheeks on the cover and she looks great — the “Thuso Mbedu bikini” Google search will finally have results. I know you’d adjust your false teeth and try to make sense of it, but I also know that you’d be on the phone calling and telling everyone to go buy it because you were always proud of everything your girls did.”
