Our November cover star is the phenomenally talented Zahara.
The singer just released her third album and it’s been a roaring success. It actually went gold in one day, proving that all the negative publicity she’s received has done nothing to deter her fans.
Check out how our red-hot cover was created in the video below plus Zahara talks about her new album and has a message for her fans.
Melanie Fiona just released the video for her new song, I tried off the upcoming album Awake. In it she focuses on social ills like domestic abuse, rape and police brutality. The singer had this to say about the video to TheYBF:
“It is important for me to channel the ideas and concepts I am passionate about into my music and my art… As an artist with a social platform, I feel it is my responsibility to do so. The video for ‘I Tried’ is a tribute to the fight in which we all witness and experience both internally and externally in the world daily. The conversation of important issues should not end when we turn the TV off. I hope this visual sparks emotion, thought, dialogue, reflection, and ultimately, positive change,”

Legendary music group, The Soil, covers our September issue. Catch the behind the scenes video below and see how our beautiful cover came to life.
Watch this behind-the-scenes video from our Lerato Kganyago cover shoot and then read what our features editor Phila Tyekana had to say about the interview.
It seems she’s having the year of her life! It’s as if something was holding her back somehow in the past and now she’s decided to let go of it and start living. It’s all evident in the work she’s doing; joining Metro FM, Muvhango, pursuing being a House DJ, her gig on Ebony Life TV, Moments SA and looking content with herself. We had to celebrate that as the magazine.
Her first cover ever was with us in 2013 and so we had to pick things up from our last conversation and she was only glad to share her life now with us and our readers.
Despite her flourishing career she’s grown mentally too and come into her own and her confidence is evident.
A lot of people misunderstand Lerato as feisty but she’s the sweetest and very honest with her truth. She’s hilarious too with a witty sense of humour. Don’t get me wrong, she won’t ever back down from a fight nor is she afraid to quickly put you in your place if you step on her toes.
Professional, fun and easy.
Lerato is known for her glamzon style of dress, so we continued with the glam effect for the cover theme.
Honesty from the cover star about how appreciative she is about coming this far in the entertainment industry and the challenges she’s faced with both herself and fans in her journey of success. She also speaks for the first time about her breakup with soccer star, Katlego Mashego.
