Shortly after securing the Forbes Africa ‘Over 30 Under 50’ cover, popular media personality Minnie Dlamini has secured her first-ever Forbes Award as the latest recipient of the Excellence in Entertainment Award.

Whether it’s for shamelessly moving on from a failed relationship, loving her new partner out loud with no care for outside opinions, or dominating in her professional field, Minnie Dlamini has been the name on everyone’s lips recently as she finds her way back onto the limelight.

The Forbes Woman Africa awards are a platform dedicated to celebrating the women who have served as trailblazers and have shaped a different looking world for those who come after them, specifically on the African continent. The event honoured women such as Kenya’s Sarah Hassan, Nigeria’s Tiwa Savage, and Ngozi-Okonjo Iweala as some of the recipients of their prestigious and meaningful awards.

For her undeniable role in the entertainment industry as a presenter, executive producer, and host, Minnie Dlamini was recognised as the deserving recipient of the Excellence in Entertainment award.

Taking to her Instagram, the media personality revealed that she was beyond ecstatic to receive an award of such magnitude, and dedicated her win to her family. She also went on to show appreciation to those who have supported and contributed to her journey.
