‘A new chapter': Lebo M rekindles romance with Mel Ntsala and proposes once again
Internationally acclaimed producer Lebo M and Mel Ntsala have gotten engaged again after they called it quits in 2019.
After sparking rumours about their romance in May 2024, the couple went public with their rekindled romance with snaps aboard a dreamy yacht in Dubai.
Previously married four times and engaged eight, the producer and composer also declared his unwavering belief in love and new beginnings.
After publicly declaring that he would not tie the knot again after his most recent failed marriage to Pretty Samuels, renowned composer and producer Lebohang 'Lebo M' Morake has again asked for Mel Ntsala's hand in marriage.
The couple shared the news on Sunday with loved-up snaps of them on a luxurious yacht in Dubai, with Morake declaring, 'The day we stop believing in love and possibilities is the day we stop dreaming.'
'Absolutely grateful to have fulfilled my dream and begin a new chapter with you.'
He continued to declare his undying love for the Free State beauty, saying, 'Love always.'

This marks the pair's second attempt at tying the knot after they got engaged in 2019 but called it quits because Morake was allegedly entertaining another ex, Angela Casara.
Rumours of a romantic rekindling surfaced in May 2024 when Morake posted – and later deleted – a cosy photo with a female passenger on a private jet. At the time, his manager and nephew, Tshepo Mboni, downplayed the speculation, telling News24 that 'he has no romantic relations with anyone, especially Mel Ntsala.'
However, a 'trusted' source told online publication Zimoja otherwise. The source told the publication that the woman in his life was someone he had dated previously.
'The woman could not take it and broke it off, but there has never been bad blood between them. The woman just wanted him to get over his ex,' the source said.
Months later, the pair fuelled the flames when they were spotted on vacation together in Mauritius as part of his 60th birthday celebrations.

Speaking to Sunday World months after their engagement and wedding were called off, Ntsala attributed their split to them getting tired of each other.
'We were both tired of each other. You know, relationships. We decided that, you know what, this is not good for us. This [is] not for us,' she said.
Morake, no stranger to the ups and downs of love, has been married four times and engaged a total of eight – a number that continues to make headlines. His tumultuous fallout with ex-wife Pretty Samuels ended in public accusations and mudslinging.
