Understanding Self-Love Beyond Surgery
In an interview with TshisaLIVE, Mbau addressed misconceptions about surgery and self-love.
“We first need to understand surgery and self-love have no relation. People have tried to cushion their discomfort about what they feel is taboo by labelling their projections and saying surgery is a result of a lack of self-love.”
Mbau emphasized that her confidence is inherent and not dependent on any cosmetic procedure.
“Self-love is not something you apply. Self-love is love. One needs to just be and let live, and then love flows,” she explained.

Mbau has previously undergone various cosmetic procedures, including botox, fillers, veneers, liposuction, and breast augmentation.
Despite public perceptions, she believes beauty is subjective and tied to self-expression rather than physical appearance.
“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. One’s beauty is not physical but a deep sense of self. Beauty is unspoken truth through the physical. It is one’s choice to express in any way they want. Over the years my expressions have changed as I mature. I see myself in different ways due to my exposure to different cultures, places and experiences.”
Khanyi sees her cosmetic procedures as an expression of freedom rather than a solution to self-doubt.
“Cosmetic surgery is an expression of freedom of self-expression. I am not of this body; it only houses my soul.
It’s my character that should define my values, not what I look like. Confidence is not being boxed by the norms,” she said.
