Bontle & Refilwe Modiselle set to return as hosts of Feather Awards XV
The Modiselle sisters, Refilwe and Bontle, are set to make a return as the hosts of this year's Feather Awards alongside sign language activist Andiswa Gebashe.
Last year Candice Modiselle joined her sisters on stage for the award show, but it seems she's sitting it out this time.
The ceremony that celebrates the unique tapestry of the LGBTQIA+ community and honours those who have made a significant impact in the world of entertainment, will have all Mzansi's faves out for an unforgettable night of glitz and glamour.
