Khosi Twala to co-host Sebenza Women Awards

Media personality Makhosazane ‘Khosi’ Twala bagged herself another hosting gig. This time for the fifth edition of the Sebenza Women Awards.

The award show focuses on rewarding women’s excellence and showcasing their brilliance, strength and achievements, while paying special attention to the youth, game changers, and women from disadvantaged communities striving to make the world a better place.

The BONA September cover star shared the news on her Twitter (now X) timeline, simply writing, “Introducing your hosts for Sebenza Woman Awards.”

Khosi will host the show alongside Thulani Thabethe and Angel Zuma at the Durban ICC on Friday, 6 October.

The Big Brother Titans winner is no stranger to hosting. On 23 September, she was the emcee at the DStv Delicious International Food & Music Festival with actor Lawrence Maleka.

Khosi was also praised for her hosting skills after her gig as a red carpet host at the 10th annual Simon ‘Mabhunu’ Sabela KZN Film and Television Awards on Saturday, 22 July which also took place at the Durban ICC.

When BONA asked the former Jacaranda FM presenter what makes a good host, Khosi replied, “I think the ability to use your initiative and think on your feet while being eloquent plays a critical role. The fact that I have degrees in journalism and strategic communication helps too.”
