Anele Mdoda is married
In a move that caught Mzansi completely off guard, beloved media personality and 947 radio host Anele Mdoda has reportedly tied the knot with her partner, Bonelela “Buzza” James, in a private traditional ceremony held over the weekend.
The TV producer, who often keeps her personal life away from the public eye, managed to pull off the intimate celebration without the usual media frenzy — until word began to spread on social media.
Anele’s close friend, author and media personality Khaya Dlanga, is said to have let the cat out of the bag in a now-deleted congratulatory post.
“Congratulations Anele Mdoda who weds Bonelela James,” read the short but revealing message that sparked a wave of excitement and congratulatory messages across social platforms.
While the couple hasn’t officially confirmed the news on their own accounts, fans and industry colleagues have been flooding Anele’s mentions with well wishes.
However, not everyone was impressed by how the news surfaced, with some questioning the decision to post about the private event without her consent.
“Why must you have haters when you have friends like Khaya Dlanga? Why would you post Anele Mdoda’s wedding pictures without her permission?” one user commented, reflecting the mixed reactions online.
Despite the unexpected reveal, South Africans are celebrating the star’s new chapter, sending love and blessings her way as she begins married life with Buzz.
