Yesterday was Ayanda Thabethe’ 35 birthday and she wasn’t going to let the day go by without doing something major.
The star has just launched her very own identical digital twin IAMiYanda. Sharing the exciting news, she shared the following.
“I’m super excited to introduce you guys to iYANDA! My very own identical digital twin. @IAMiYANDA is also Africa’s newest virtual human – Oh, and we may look identical…but she certainly has a life of her own – living in the digital realm …Officially entering the world of tech and joining other virtual reality robots !!! Can’t wait for you to see what she gets up to … #IamIYANDA #www.iamiyanda.com !!! Please follow @iamiyanda as my birthday gift.”
In the cool animation showcasing iYanda in action, the voice-over artist said the following:
“I’ve always wondered if it’s possible to recreate….
“In life, you have two choices to either go forward or to go back. I’ve always chosen to go forward.”
We’re glad the presenter has chosen to move forward. With this announcement, Ayanda or rather iYanda enters the tech world. The star also introduced the website for her virtual business and the official social media page. Boity commented on her video and said that it looks epic. The likes of Zenande Mfenyane. Ayanda Ncwane and Amanda Black commended the model on her latest career move.
In past interviews, Thabethe revealed that she’s always had a passion for modelling, however, her short height has always limited her. Her earlier years were in modelling and were followed by high profile gigs with Legit, BET Africa and who can forget Top Billing? The beauty has also had short-acting gigs in Generations: The Legacy and Rockville.
From the very beginning, it’s always been clear that Ayanda is a woman with a vision. Chatting to Afternoon express over a year ago, she revealed that she wants to further her studies. She currently holds an honours degree in marketing.
“My mom never got to study what she wanted, she became a nurse by default because it was free. She always said that she wanted us to do careers that we love and her gave to us was education. I studied up to honours level – I have an honours degree in marketing and I want to continue studying because I feel like it’s so important for the girl child to study,” said the star on her future plans.
