Khanyi Mbau on launches her own gin. We recently sat down with the star and spoke about everything including her career, fame, her daughter and expanding her family. During our exclusive interview, the media personality also emphasised that she’s rebranding, and looking to embark on exciting new ventures in the next coming year. One thing is for sure, she is ending 2018 with a bang.
Throughout Khanyi Mbau’s life in the limelight, there have been many unexpected money-making moves that she’s made. But this one is by far the one that we couldn’t have predicted.
She’s written a book, conquered the entertainment industry as both an actress and TV presenter, and now she’s launching her own alcoholic beverage. Mbau has almost done it all.
Check out all you need to know about I AM KHANYI.
Launching an alcoholic beverage is such an unexpected venture from you, why did you decide to keep it on the low?
We have been through so much as a country and have little moments to celebrate this year, from death threats to polony and changing presidents, it’s been hectic… and I saw the gap to give people a reason to be happy and celebrate.
I kept it on the low because creating a Gin is serious business, it’s not a party trick and it needs focus and concentration as this is something people will be putting in their bodies, so I had to be sure and confident about the quality of the brand before I said anything.
What was the creative process that you went through in creating not only the design of the bottle but also the gin itself?
Nicole from Copper & Malt helped me with my vision in bringing it to life. She kept me fully involved in the whole process; from the concept, design, through to which flavour profiles would work. The gin was designed specifically to suit my persona, style and personality.
