Celebrating Lamiez and The Funny Chef, plus other fan-favourite friendships

Announcement

Lamiez Holworthy-Morule and The Funny Chef

International Day of Friendship is a day proclaimed by the UN General Assembly with the idea that friendship between people, countries, cultures and individuals can inspire peace efforts and build bridges between communities.

They describe friendship as a bond that “begins with something quieter: a conversation, a shared moment, a willingness to see one another not as strangers but as fellow travellers through the human experience”.

In an industry so cutthroat and fast-paced, having a ‘day one’ is truly the ultimate flex. We would like to honour the vital role of support systems in our lives and shed light upon the besties that prove that real sisterhood and brotherhood thrive even under the brightest spotlights.

Here are Mzansi’s most iconic duos:

Landzy and ZeeXOnline

Content besties Landzy (Landiwe Gama) and ZeeXOnline (Zama Marubelela) are the ultimate friendship goals. As co-hosts of their podcast Because We Said So, Landzy and Zee brought their real-life bond straight to the mic, having important conversations about girlhood, friendships and life lessons. Together, they prove that blending friendship and business only makes the connection stronger.

Kabza De Smal and DJ Maphorisa
