Dlamini flashes her flesh again

"I'm celebrating my youth - and my beautiful body"

METRO FM DJ and The Wild actress Minnie Dlamini is putting her underwear on show once again - and says there's nothing wrong with showing off her body.

Fresh from causing a stir at the Durban July in an Asanda Madyibhi dress that exposed her panties and thighs, Dlamini is among six featured celebs in Cosmopolitan magazine's annual lingerie supplement this month.

Other celebrities flesh-flashing in the supplement include DJ Poppy Ntshongwana, TV presenter Lalla Hirayama, singer-songwriter Tamara Dey and Miss South Africa Melinda Bam. Other celebrated models featured include Gail Nkoane and Natasha Barnard, who has just landed the coveted Armani Exchange campaign.

Dlamini, who is romantically linked to Bafana Bafana and Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune, is not apologetic about showing off.

The former beauty queen says she is doing it to celebrate her youth and body.

"I did the shoot to celebrate my body," she told Sowetan. "I believe I have a beautiful body. If I do not celebrate it, who will?

"I struggled with weight issues the whole of last year. This is my way of saying 'well done' to myself.

"I am still young and fresh and I do not see anything wrong with showing off what I have while I still can. I do not want a situation where I will be doing this when I am an old woman."

The magazine's editor, Sbu Mpungose, said: "All women, no matter what their body type, are worth celebrating, and lingerie is the perfect way to make you feel sexy and confident."
