Netflix’s new mega-hit reality series, Young, Famous and African star, Khanyi Mbau, has admitted to bleaching her skin and All About The Tea has the shocking before and after pics.

As you can see in the photo above on the left, Khanyi Mbau, 36, was a beautiful dark-skin woman prior to transforming into the light-skin actress in the snapshot on the right.

Why Did She Start Bleaching: According to rumours, the South African native started bleaching her skin after a nasty break-up that left her feeling insecure about her dark skin, because her former lover dumped her for a light-skin black woman.

Khanyi Mbau has never hidden the fact that she bleaches her skin. She claims that she just wants to be lighter in complexion. She recently revealed she was tired of using skin products that are available on the market – and because of that, she will start to manufacture her own line of skin-lightening products.

Young, Famous & African is the hit new Netflix series that introduces wealthy African stars to the world. At the centre of the show is Khanyi Mbau. In South African circles she’s known for being flashy, dating only wealthy men, and her love of luxury cars.
