If you haven’t come across legendary housekeeper Mbali Nhlapo’s TikTok videos, where’ve you been, bru? 

And those who know, you’ll agree that just hearing the words, “Hello my name is Mbali Nhlapo and I am a housekeeper,” creates a sense of unmeasured calm and joy for the viewer.

Nhlapo is solidifying herself as a national icon by sharing tips and tricks for keeping your home spotless. Not only does Nhlapo clearly know her stuff but she’s a veritable beam of light pouring positivity into households with a sprinkling of bicarb and lemon juice to boot.

The 40-year-old viral sensation is an established businesswoman with her own housekeeping company, Sisters @ Work.

And when we say Nhlapo’s got the skills and the knowledge, we mean it. South Africans are gobbling up her cost-effective cleaning hacks, with many of Nhlapo’s clips reaching over a million views. You learn something new every time Nhlapo drops a post.

Nhlapo is the people’s queen, constantly interacting with followers’ requests, from “How do I clean my microwave properly to get rid of that lingering smell?” all the way to getting out “blood stains” from clothes. How very South African.

Our favourite housekeeper sisi has even written a book filled to the brim with her scrubbing secrets, for those who want a hard copy version of Nhlapo’s magic advice.

As Nhlapo’s fame keeps rising, she has inspired the hashtag #iamahousekeeper, based on her quirky video intro. Millions of South Africans have even started posting their own cleaning TikToks in honour of the tag.

Forget TikTok influencers whose fame rests solely on their ability to look ‘snatched’, Nhlapo is proving that it’s all about having a passion to share lovingly with your community.

And remember, be the housekeeper you wish to see in the world.
