6. “I was born this way!” Sizwe Dhlomo pulls a Beyoncé
The picture that broke SA Twitter and Instagram, that Kaya Drive followers were never ready for.
The picture sent both men and women into overdrive with many asking how and why Sizwe is so good looking.
Sizwe laughed off comments that his looks were the result of a dedicated skincare routine and took the Beyoncé route by saying “Thank you but to be honest, I was just born like that. It’s not because of any product.”
5. Beefing colleagues
Kaya Drive is known for tackling everything from beefing colleagues to how you prefer your eggs. Managing and diffusing a tense situation at the office can get complicated but what’s the right way to respond if at all?
While the team shared their methods of handling conflict, HR Business Manager at LabourNet, Polelo Moloi shared 7 tips for employers to resolve office conflict amicably.
4. Men and pedicures
Kaya Drive is known for pushing us out of our comfort zones and Sizwe’s love for wearing sandals and rocking them everywhere meant the team weighed in on men wearing sandals in public.
The recommendation is that gents get a pedicure first before you put your feet forward in your favourite sandals in public.

Sizwe Dhlomo asked if there was something you did in a relationship that was out of character and shared a story of a girlfriend who hadn’t cooked in any of her relationships except for him.
Anyone who knows Sizwe, knows that he is a huge foodie and the way to his heart is through his tummy so he found the gesture sweet.
2. Cryptocurrency
Kaya Drive with Sizwe Dhlomo broke down what cryptocurrency is, why it requires such a large block of power to mine, and clearing up how you trade the cryptocurrency. Engaging with Kaya Biz’s Gugulethu Mfuphi and Editor at My Broadband, Jan Vermeulen, Sizwe helped define cryptocurrency in the discussion.
