'Grateful to have fulfilled my dream': Lebo M gets engaged again
Music composer Lebo Morake, popularly known as Lebo M, is preparing to tie the knot once again—this time with his longtime partner, Malefu Ntsala. The Lion King composer proves that he still believes in love despite having been married four times before. He proposed to Malefu over the weekend during a dreamy engagement in Dubai, and the couple shared the exciting news on Instagram. 'The day we stop believing in love and possibilities is the day we stop dreaming. Absolutely grateful to have fulfilled my dream & begin this new chapter with you. Love always,' wrote Lebo. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lebo M Morake (@thereallebo_m) Many flooded the post with congratulatory messages, celebrating the couple on their engagement. Their romance was rekindled after a previous split. According to reports, the pair got engaged in 2020 and called it quits. This is after Lebo went back to his ex-wife Anela Ngani-Casara whom he had married twice. Although ZiMoja reported in 2024 that the couple had rekindled their romance, the acclaimed producer initially denied the claims. This came after he posted a photo on social media showing a woman's feet resting on his lap during a tour in Spain and Portugal, which sparked speculation. When questioned, Lebo M downplayed the photo, insisting it meant nothing and stating: 'I am single and currently enjoying my life.' 'There is nothing there, she is a colleague…Nothing there. If I was back in the dating game, I wouldn't have a problem confirming phela, I've been 'single' since July 2023,' he added. However, a source close to the situation revealed that the woman in the picture is indeed Lebo M's former fiancée. According to the source, the two had previously been engaged but parted ways due to Lebo's continued involvement with his ex-wife, Angela. 'They dated a few years ago and even got engaged but they broke up as Lebo was entertaining his ex-wife Angela. The woman could not take it and broke it off, but there was never bad blood between them. The woman just wanted him to get over his ex,' the source said.

Love in full bloom? Anele Mdoda showered with congratulations over Xhosa 'wedding' pics
Speculation that Anele Mdoda recently tied the knot in a traditional Xhosa wedding gained momentum after friends hinted at attending significant event. Adding to the intrigue, Khaya Dlanga congratulated the couple in a now-deleted post, and photos surfaced of Mdoda in what appears to be traditional Xhosa attire. While neither Mdoda nor her partner has confirmed the news, fans have taken to social media to celebrate what may be a new chapter for the much-loved media personality. Social media has been abuzz with speculation that popular radio personality and businesswoman Anele Mdoda may have recently tied the knot in a traditional Xhosa wedding ceremony. The rumours gained traction after several close friends and public figures, including radio host Sizwe Dhlomo, hinted at attending a special union last weekend. Dhlomo tweeted about being present at a significant event, leading many to believe he was referring to Mdoda's wedding. Adding fuel to the speculation, Khaya Dlanga, another close friend of Mdoda, posted a now-deleted message congratulating the couple on their new union. While neither Mdoda nor her partner, lawyer Bonelela "Buzza" James, had publicly confirmed the wedding by Monday morning, fans and followers have been quick to celebrate the possibility. The speculation comes months after ZiMoja reported that Mdoda and James, a member of the Abathembu royal clan, were in a serious relationship, having been spotted together at family gatherings, high-profile events, and even on international trips. He was her date to Zozibini Tunzi and Luthando Bolowana's wedding in March. According to sources, the couple has been open about their relationship, with James reportedly bonding well with Mdoda's son, Alakhe. Images circulating online show Mdoda dressed in what appears to be traditional Xhosa attire, further fuelling wedding rumours. While some fans have expressed excitement, others remain cautious, noting that neither Mdoda nor James have officially confirmed the news. Neither Mdoda nor her representatives have responded to requests for comment. However, supporters on X (formerly Twitter) have flooded the platform with congratulatory messages, praising the couple and expressing happiness for the media personality. For now, the public remains eager for an official confirmation or denial from the couple themselves.
