1. “I have a #girlgang that includes the likes of Unathi Nkayi and Anele Mdoda. It’s amazing to have these amazing women in my life that I can share with and even learn from. We move in different spaces in the same industry and I believe one day we’ll all be able to pool our resources together and do something massive.

Minnie, how would you describe your perfect day? "Wake up late ??, a little frolicking at the beach??, get some cute IG pics while you're there??, then an amazing fresh seafood lunch with great company & a view in Camps Bay; on a beautiful summer day" ??? Did I mention all with a blistering headache from the night before? ????

I wanted to visually celebrate the love I have for my beautiful continent with this cover. Celebrating our landscape, our fashion & our creative artists ?? Little did I know we would make history by producing the first ever dual @truelovemagazine cover swipe left ?? In stores now! Photographer: @juddvanrensburg I can't believe how far we've come from our very first shoot together. Working with you is such a gift! Stylist : @mpu_me You knocked it out of the park! You took the vision and ran with it . Designer 1st Cover: @asandamadyibi I love everything you do, thank you for always being there for me. Makeup : @stephythemakeupartist I know you felt HORRIBLE but you came anyway and made me look and feel so beautiful Hair : @jawad_ntlhane_maphoto You planned the most beautiful african hairstyles with the easiest transitions. (We need to do a tutorial it was incredible!) I also included an @mdbodysa sample for you to try my product if you haven't already ?? 2020 Let's Go! ??

7. My go-to meal is meat. I love meat. Prime rib on the bone, medium rare.

8. If I wasn’t a presenter and businesswoman, I’d be an actress. Acting is definitely my first love.

9. I’m obsessed with the movie, The Godfather, and can’t decide if 1 or 2 was the best one.

10. A song that gets me off my feet and moving? I can’t choose just one song. More like favourite genre – 80s and 90s R&B.”
