BIG Brother Titans winner Khosi Twala has announced that the second season of her YouTube show, Khoffee with Khosi, is now live.
The 28-year-old Khosi from Newcastle, KZN, gave a rundown of the show's new direction and how she's been doing since Big Brother.
Since taking the prize for Big Brother Titans in 2023, Khosi, whose real name is Makhosazane Twala, has been working to build her brand beyond reality TV.
The second season of Khoffee with Khosi marks a shift from the prior focus on interviews of Big Brother housemates on the show.
"I didn't want to be stuck just doing Big Brother content.
"I was trapped in a box," Khosi said.
She elaborated on why she wished to cover new topics and push herself out of her comfort zone. The show now features a wider variety of guests such as musician Donald, activists, influencers, and professionals.

The Top 16 Youth-Owned Brands Awards winner and award-winning journalist added that what she hopes for Khoffee with Khosi is to bring diverse voices and untold stories.
"I'd like to feature on the show people whose experiences don't get as much traction. The hope is to have a voice for these individuals and create a more diverse platform for discussion," she said.
Though Big Brother's popularity catapulted Khosi, she admitted the transition from reality TV star to a credible industry participant has been tough.
"On Big Brother, you're instantly in the limelight, but it's a tiny corner of the world. You need to fight to find your niche."
She also spoke about the pressure of walking the line between being real and what the public wants, saying that keeping a humble persona while being confident has been a delicate tightrope to walk.
Reflecting on her challenges during Big Brother, Khosi shared that fame doesn't come with a manual.
"When you're a Big Brother winner, you go through phases of discovering who you are in this new world."
The test, she disclosed, was to tune out external gossip and focus on building herself.
"I went out to redefine myself," she added.
