Thando Thabethe Launches Tha’Bhuti with Sorbet Man

A Celebration of Wellness, Style, and Self-Care
In honour of Men’s Mental Health Month, actress and media powerhouse Thando Thabethe teamed up with Sorbet Man Hyde Park for an intimate and uplifting event dedicated to men’s wellbeing, grooming, and self-expression. The Johannesburg gathering brought together South Africa’s leading male personalities in a relaxed, stylish setting designed to promote softness, confidence, and connection.

An Intimate Gathering of SA’s Finest
Hosted by mental health advocate and medical doctor Dr. Nokukhanya Khanyile, the event featured guests such as Jesse Suntele, Nat Ramabulana, Eric Macheru, Yanga Chief, and Desmond Dube. With pampering treatments, refreshing cocktails, and meaningful conversation, the evening struck the perfect balance between luxury and vulnerability.

“This month is not only about raising awareness around men’s mental health, but also about creating real spaces of softness and self-expression,”

said Thabethe.

Tha’Bhuti Officially Unveiled
The event also marked the official launch of Tha’Bhuti, Thabethe’s first men’s line under her successful Thabooty’s brand. Initially teased as an April Fools’ joke, Tha’Bhuti is now a reality — and a movement. It’s aimed at

“soft brothers, the finest uncles, and the dads who deserve premium comfort with a little drip.”

Introducing the ‘Coco Collection’
Tha’Bhuti’s debut range, the Coco Collection, includes a robe-dress hybrid designed to feel like a second skin. Handmade in South Africa, the collection is rooted in luxury, heritage, and everyday ease, offering both underwear and sleepwear that promote comfort, support, and self-confidence.

Redefining Masculinity Through Comfort

“Partnering with Sorbet Man gave us the perfect platform to show that taking care of yourself is strength, not weakness,”

said Thabethe. Tha’Bhuti is more than fashion — it’s a reimagining of masculinity, encouraging men to show up for themselves and take up space in their softness.
