The YouTube app has managed to become a platform whereby many individuals become monetized through their growing subscriptions and viewers that consume and receive their content.
The platform has a variety of content and today we are highlighting South African YouTubers who invite us into their homes and show us what a day in their lives consist of or simply include us in their sit-down talks.
We focus particularly on those young African moms, dads, wives or husbands who serve family content and goals all year long.
A few South Africans who keep us entertained and glued to our screens on the YouTube app with such family content are:
• Yolz Channel
Owner of her beauty brand Yolz Beauty, Yolenda ‘Yolz’ Jawe is a driven individual who let’s her viewers in on her life. The Jawes consist of three members including her high school sweetheart who is now her husband, Lwazi Jawe.
Yolz’s current content takes us on their journey of living as nomads as the family of three embarks on an adventure in the Sub-Saharan African region in a 4×4 van with their son, Fezile Jawe.

Gqeberha-born Babalwa is a full-time content creator and business owner who takes on life with her husband, Zola Mcaciso, who is an attorney by profession, along with their two toddler boys.
The Mcaciso duo, who tied the knot in 2021, invites us into their home as they explore their marriage, parenting, the city life and many sit-down talks.
