Basetsana and Romeo Kumalo are 25 years married

South African author and businesswoman Basetsana Kumalo writes a heartmelting note to her husband Romeo as they mark their 25th wedding anniversary.

Taking to social media, she shared a video revealing their journey over the past 25 years and how they’ve grown to become a family.

Basetsana kicked off the note by calling her husband with an endearing word, the love of my life.

“Today marks twenty five years of walking side by side as husband and wife, and my heart is full when I think of all that we have built together. When I look back, I see a young couple with big dreams, trusting that love, faith and commitment would carry them. I see seasons that tested us, moments that shaped us, and countless days when your steady presence gave me strength. Through it all, you have been my constant companion, my confidant and my safe place,” she added.

The former Miss South Africa further talked about how Romeo loves her and how he leads their home.

“You have loved me with patience and with honour. You have believed in me even when I doubted myself. You have held our family together with quiet courage. There is a kindness in your spirit that has always anchored me. I treasure the way you lead with humility and the way you stand with our children, guiding them with wisdom that comes from a place of deep care. Your devotion to us knows no bounds.”

Basetsana concluded the note by appreciating and praying for her husband.

“As we celebrate this silver milestone, I am reminded that love matures with time. It grows gentler, richer and more rooted. You have shown me that marriage is not only about grand moments but about the small, everyday acts of devotion that build a life. It is about choosing each other again and again, even as the years change us, I choose you everyday.

“Thank you for walking this path with me. Thank you for the laughter, the shared dreams, the prayers whispered in quiet moments, and the strength you have given me in times of trial. Thank you for loving me in ways that words will never fully capture. Thank you for never dimming my light and celebrating every milestone, big or small.”

“My heart remains full of hope for the years ahead. I look forward to the new chapters we will write, the journeys still waiting for us, and the legacy we continue to build with our children. May God keep blessing our union, guiding us with grace and surrounding our home with peace.”

“Happy 25th anniversary, my love. I thank the Lord for the gift of your life. May the Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace. I love you,” she concluded.
