Her celebrity friends joined in with birthday wishes. Actress and presenter Minnie Dlamini said, “Happy Birthday my angel. May all your wishes and dreams come true, and may the light you shine return to you 10 fold.” Celebrity chef Lorna Maseko wished her, “Happy birthday Thabooty – wishing an incredible year ahead!” Entrepreneur Xola Madubedube added, “Happy Birthday Thando! Those who experience you are truly blessed! Keep soaring, we love to see it doll!”

Beyond her entertainment career, Thando has made waves as an entrepreneur with her lingerie and shapewear brand, Thabooty’s. Founded in 2017, Thabooty’s offers inclusive and sexy underwear for women of all shapes and sizes. The brand promotes body positivity and self-expression, aiming to change how women feel about underwear and shapewear. Their product range includes shapewear, underwear, lingerie, loungewear, and swimwear — all designed to help women feel confident and comfortable.

In April 2025, Thando playfully announced on April Fool’s Day the launch of Tha’Bhuti, a men’s intimates and shapewear line. The fun tease was met with great excitement, and the official launch followed in June 2025. Tha’Bhuti offers stylish and comfortable options for men, from sleepwear to shapewear. The first collection featured a male model that sparked curiosity and buzz among fans about who he might be.

Thando Thabethe continues to inspire not just through her talents but also by expanding her business to meet growing demands — making comfort and style available for both women and men.
