Former Champions actress and media figure Lebohang Tlokana, commonly known as The Funny Chef, recently caught the attention of South Africans with her new social media postings.
Followers of the former The River actress observed her weight reduction by comparing her earlier images to recent ones shared online.
Tlokana previously gained traction online for her speech during Lamiez Holworthy’s wedding in the North West province.
User n_makhubela posted a comparison of the chef’s transformation on her X account on May 8, 2026.
“The Funny Chef needs to give us the formula,” she captioned the post.
The content creator initiated her workout documentation in February, focused primarily on boxing drills with her trainer.
Briefly News reporter Moroba Maepa reached out to respected fitness expert and certified trainer Mothusi Maepa to explore the advantages of boxing, who highlighted its effectiveness within a fitness routine.
He complimented boxing as an excellent cardiovascular workout with weight-loss benefits comparable to swimming, adding that it also serves an important role as a self-defense skill.
