When media darling Boity Thulo posted a pair of birthday snaps celebrating her mum’s 55th, Mzansi erupted. Social platforms lit up as admirers joked they’d sign up to be her step-dad just for a glimpse of her charm and style.
Age is just a number
Mother-daughter duo Boity and Modiehi Thulo have been getting mistaken for sisters for years—and it’s no surprise. Despite being two decades apart, Modiehi exudes a youthful elegance that has fans convinced she’s aging backwards.
Social feeds go wild
Some of the comments were cheekily bold. One user declared, “I want to be Boity’s father,” while another mused, “I never thought that I’d want to be Boity’s step-dad.” Others questioned if she was off the market, “Is she taken?” with tongue-in-cheek enthusiasm. Clearly, Mzansi couldn’t resist showering her with admiration.

A prophetess with flair
Beyond the glamour, Modiehi is also a spiritual woman, a prophetess known for sharing empowering affirmations and faith-rooted reflections on social media. She and her daughter share a playful bond; legendary, after all, was the pregnancy prank Boity pulled on her that went viral. And just last year, the pair navigated grief together when Modiehi lost her own mother to Alzheimer’s, a loss Boity acknowledged with deep emotion online.
What this says about Mzansi
This moment touches on so much that is inherently South African: beauty, faith, family, and the joy of shared laughter. There’s a sense of admiration that isn’t just about looks; it’s about heart, confidence, and presence. Modiehi’s ageless allure symbolises a grace that resonates widely, reminding us that strength and charm often come from rooted wisdom and self-love.
Beauty, inside and out
It’s clear that this isn’t just a birthday post; it’s a reminder of why South Africans love our celebs when they keep it personal and warm. Modiehi stands not just as the mother of a megastar but as an icon in her own right, with men lining up (virtually) to be part of that radiant energy.
