Rustenburg – Creativity, charisma, and a dash of sparkle — that’s what Rustenburg-born Charné Malan brings to the world with her newly released children’s book. Now living in the wine valleys of Durbanville, Charné is making waves as a multifaceted creative: author, actress, model, and entrepreneur.

Her journey is proof that stories can grow from local roots to touch faraway places. Alongside her academic background in Psychology and Tourism, Charné brings empathy and imagination into her writing, weaving tales that reflect her vibrant personality and passion for children’s storytelling.

Charné is also known for her dazzling presence on stage and screen, yet it is her writing — heartfelt and brimming with magic — that is now capturing the hearts of young readers. And she never works alone: her beloved feline companion, Mushroom, is always nearby, adding warmth and charm to her creative world.
