In a heartwarming and stylish celebration of Men’s Mental Health Month, media personality, actress, and entrepreneur Thando Thabethe joined forces with Sorbet Man Hyde Park for an event that highlighted the importance of men’s wellbeing, self-care, and style. The evening not only addressed mental health but also marked the official debut of Tha’Bhuti, Thabethe’s highly anticipated men’s collection under her popular Thabooty’s brand.

Held in Johannesburg, the event brought together some of the brightest stars in South Africa, including actors Jesse Suntele, Nat Ramabulana, and Eric Macheru, along with musician Yanga Chief and actor Desmond Dube, who gathered to celebrate the launch.

Hosted by Dr. Nokukhanya Khanyile, a renowned medical doctor and mental health advocate, the evening provided a space where men could be pampered, have candid conversations, and relax with refreshing cocktails.

In a statement, Thabethe explained the significance of the event: “This month is not only about raising awareness around men’s mental health but also about creating real spaces of softness and self-expression. Partnering with Sorbet Man gave us the perfect platform to show that taking care of yourself is strength, not weakness.”

Introducing Tha’Bhuti: Comfort Meets Confidence

The spotlight of the evening was the unveiling of Tha’Bhuti, Thabethe’s bold new offering that expands her brand, Thabooty’s, into men’s fashion. Originally teased as an April Fools’ joke, Tha’Bhuti is now a reality and is set to disrupt the men’s lifestyle space with its focus on premium comfort and effortless style.

The collection’s debut, ‘Coco Collection’, combines relaxation and luxury, offering men something many hadn’t seen before—a blend of comfort, confidence, and a bit of drip. The standout piece, a robe-dress hybrid, was handmade in South Africa and designed to feel like a second skin.

For Thabethe, Tha’Bhuti isn’t just about fashion; it’s about creating a movement that encourages men to embrace softness, self-expression, and masculinity on their own terms.

“It’s about the soft brothers, the finest uncles, and the dads who deserve to feel premium comfort,” Thabethe shared. “Tha’Bhuti is for those who want to look good while embracing the true meaning of relaxation and style.”

Tha’Bhuti’s Launch: A Celebration of Style and Substance

The evening wasn’t just about unveiling a new collection—it was a celebration of what self-care means for men today. Tha’Bhuti invites men to step into their own space, showing up for themselves without compromise. It’s a statement that style and comfort should not be seen as opposing forces, but as an essential pairing in the modern man’s wardrobe.

At its core, Tha’Bhuti is redefining masculinity. It’s challenging traditional norms while giving men the freedom to redefine how they approach fashion, comfort, and self-expression.

With Sorbet MAN, Thabethe’s collaboration takes this vision even further, offering a no-nonsense, modern gentleman’s grooming experience that focuses on both professionalism and personal care.
