'The Blessing': Vincent Tshituka and wife share sweet wedding post
The rugby player and his influencer bride wed in an intimate ceremony attended by close family and friends.
Last month, the DRC-born player proudly made his green and gold debut against Italy at Loftus.
In an Instagram post, Vincent Tshituka shared a clip of his beautiful wedding ceremony to wife Katlego Monare.
'He who finds a wife finds a good thing,' he says to the camera, which captures him weeping as he waits for his bride at the altar.
The couple received showers of blessings as rain soaked them while they said their vows.
The clip featured imagery of the couple enjoying intimate moments together and celebrating with their friends and family.
'The blessing,' read the caption of the emotional post.
In November last year, Vincent Tshituka and Katlego Monare celebrated their lobola negotiations with a ceremony merging their Congolese and South African cultures.
The Springbok also posted a screenshot of a DM he had sent to his partner in 2022. In it, the brazen rugby player stated his intentions to marry the beautiful woman.
'I'll come back to this in a couple of years to see', she jokingly responded.

Two MTV VMA nominations for Tyla
South African megastar Tyla has been nominated for two awards at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs). The 23-year-old singer received nods in the categories of Best Afrobeats and Best Choreography for her single Push 2 Start. The nominations mark a continued rise for the Johannesburg-born singer who gained international attention in 2023 with her breakout hit Water. Tyla made history last year as one of the first African artist to win a VMA and her inclusion in this year's line-up positions her among the continent's most successful contemporary music exports. The Best Afrobeats category includes high-profile nominees such as Asake, Burna Boy, Rema, Tems and Wizkid. Tyla is the only South African artist in the category. Her nomination for Best Choreography highlights the visual direction of Litchi Hov for Push 2 Start, which has attracted more than 100-million views across platforms and sparked a viral dance trend globally. The VMAs will take place on September 7 at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York, for the second year in a row. This year's ceremony introduces new fan-voted categories including Best Pop Artist and Best Country, while retaining global genre-specific categories such as Best K-Pop, Best Latin, and Best Afrobeats. Tyla, born Tyla Laura Seethal, has been credited with helping to popularise Amapiano-influenced pop music beyond African borders. She has just been featured on Variety's Power of Young Hollywood as the industry magazine's cover star. Lady Gaga leads the pack with a total of 12 VMA nominations, while Bruno Mars follows closely with 11 nods and Kendrick Lamar with 10. The VMAs will be broadcast in the early morning hours of September 8 on MTV Africa.

'Free agent' team dynamics will bolster Bafana Bafana in CHAN opener against Algeria
Wayde Jooste Wayde Jooste believes that the Bafana Bafana team that is representing the country in the CAF African Nations Championship (CHAN) has settled down and is now a unified group ahead of their opening match of the tournament on Friday. Picture:SAFA Camaraderie and team spirit will stand Bafana Bafana in good stead when they begin their African Nations Championship (CHAN) campaign against Algeria in Kampala on Friday. Former AmaZulu full-back Wayde Jooste, one of several seasoned journeymen currently 'free agents' in the South African squad, believes their time spent in camp has significantly contributed to building a strong team spirit. This, he says, will boost the team's ability to perform as a cohesive and unified unit. 'I don't think it's been that tough to become a unified group. The majority of us have played against each other in the league, and some of us have been teammates at different clubs,' said Jooste. 'We've become a little family because, like I said, we've been together in camp in South Africa, and now that we're in Uganda, the bond among us is just growing stronger.' Jooste is optimistic about their chances, highlighting the advantage of being perceived as an 'unknown quantity' by their opponents.

Amid the 3-Step debate, let the music take centre stage: why we need an archive, not a war
As producers, DJs, music writers, curators and listeners, we have both an opportunity and a responsibility to document the evolution of the 3-Step sound. Image: Pexels/Barthy A lot is happening on social media lately, and when it comes to music, one debate just won't die down: who invented 3-Step? Earlier this year, I reported on the headline-making saga titled 'Heavy-K's 3-Step sound controversy: a social media battle royale over musical origins'. In it, the renowned producer, best known for the hit 'Inde', ignited a passionate online storm by asserting his role in the creation of the 3-Step genre, a rising force in the Afro-house movement. Born Mkhululi Siqula, Heavy-K didn't mince his words, boldly claiming: 'Everyone has a right to claim whatever or have their own opinions about a sound!" "But the reality is I'm the blueprint! I've been doing this sound way before and been switching it around in every way!' And that was just the beginning. Months later, he's still doubling down on those claims. More recently, his latest online exchange with fellow hitmaker Prince Kaybee reignited the fire. Kaybee, too, insists that he helped pioneer the sound - and their back-and-forth on Facebook has taken a sharp turn into full-blown insults, with the two trading swear words and jabs. But it's no longer just between them. Video Player is loading.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ Other South African artists have now joined the battle, offering their perspectives and naming their own unsung heroes of 3-Step, some crediting overlooked producers who refined and popularised the genre, others defending those who laid the initial foundation. Frankly, it's getting exhausting. This debate, while initially illuminating, is beginning to overshadow the music itself. What once may have been a constructive conversation about artistic influence and musical evolution has turned into a tiresome ego contest. And the sad part is, it's all happening while the sound itself is thriving and evolving beyond borders. Instead of constantly fighting over who made it first, why not celebrate how far it has come? 3-Step is no longer just about its creators; it's about the people. It's a genre that resonates on dancefloors, fills streets and taverns and pulses through car speakers in townships and suburbs alike. Listeners have adopted it, embraced it and added their own meaning to it. The true power of 3-Step lies in how it moves the crowd, not in whose signature is on its blueprint. It's time we start archiving, not arguing.
