South African singer Lloyiso (real name Loyiso Gijana) has become the latest celebrity in Mzansi to show off his stunning weight loss transformation on social media.

Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, September 9, Lloyiso shared a side-by-side picture of a before and after transformation as he showed off his upper body and how much his physique has changed.

“Never thought I could … But I did! God’s favour in my life will always amaze me. 1 year of mental, emotional and physical transformation,” the singer excitedly captioned his post as he celebrated this achievement.

The “Seasons” hitmaker is not the only celebrity in Mzansi who embarked on a wellness journey and shared their transformation with the public. 

Celebrities who have embarked on a weight loss journey in 2025:

DJ Shimza stunned the internet after he shared pictures of his weight loss. However, his drastic transformation was not warmly received by the public, and many internet users have claimed that he used medication such as Ozempic to lose weight.

The DJ duo, Major League DJz, also debuted their transformation this year after losing weight. Just like their fellow industry colleague, they faced allegations of using medication to shed weight.

Reality TV star Vuyokazi Nciweni embarked on a weight loss journey last year and had a gastric bypass surgery to help her lose the weight. 

In addition, “Skeem Saam” actress, Vele Manenje, is also among those who’ve had a stunning weight loss transformation and has been capturing herself hitting the gym throughout the entire journey.

In the middle of Lloyiso celebrating his transformation, his fans also joined in and congratulated the former “Idols SA” season 11 contestant.

“Congratulations, you look great. Thank you for your transparency that weight loss is not overnight or a few months, but the real change and visible results took months/a year,” @mbali_mkh commented.

While @princessma_01 added: “Bathong, small waist what! Best lala, best lala.”

“The hard work has paid off, congrats! Plus exercise is a great way to de-stress,” @rudisimonmusic said.
