Fans name Lerato Kganyago the face of Valentine’s

There is so much pressure for Lerato’s husband to outdo the previous Valentines gifts of buying his wife a hotel or booking out a stadium this year.

Radio broadcaster Lerato Kganyago and businessman Thami Ndlela are known to do big gestures on Valentine’s Day.

Her fans played around with memes and videos of how the couple might celebrate their Valentine’s Day this year, naming her the face of Valentine’s Day.

This follows the previous years where, Ndlela has done big gestures for his wife on Valentine’s Day. He had in the past booked out a stadium that has a capacity of over 94 000 and had multi award winning musician Zonke to perform. The following year, according to Lerato’s Instagram live, the businessman surprised her with a boutique hotel as a gift and made her sign the deed as her own.

After the radio DJ shared how South Africa looks like at night, one Twitter user wrote “her husband is definitely buying her Eskom.”

According to some Twitter users, Valentine’s Day is definitely a Lerato Kganyago day.
