“Happy Birthday to the vampire of the Dlamini family. (Yes, he’s the most beautiful, and he doesn’t age lol. u50 is around the corner lol,” she wrote before adding, “To my big bro @mapreezy, more life and more blessings Sibalukhulu. We love you, Preezy.”

Introduction to Maphe Dlamini
In addition to being Minnie Dlamini’s older brother, Maphe also acts as her manager.
In her 2023 birthday post, Minnie expressed gratitude for his support, crediting him for believing in her aspirations.
“Thank you for always taking care of me and looking out for me. I couldn’t ask for a better big brother and manager,” she wrote, adding, “Thank you for always having my back and reminding me who I am and what I am capable of. My right-hand man always.”
Maphe is not Minnie’s only brother. Her younger sibling, Khosini Dlamini, tragically passed away in 2019, and in his memory, she named her son Makhosini.
