Congratulations seem to be in order for media personality, Anele Mdoda as internet users are speculating whether she recently tied the knot with her  alleged partner, Bonelela ‘Buzza’ James who is reportedly a Xhosa prince from the Abathembu tribe or not.

The speculations come from pictures that were shared on social media, by her friend, Khaya Dlanga in a now deleted post where he congratulated the couple.

Known for her wit and being a doting mother to her son, Alakhe; from the pictures shared, Anele oozed elegance and grace in her Xhosa traditional regalia with elaborate beadwork, and her husband Bonelela who is reportedly a renowned lawyer matching her in regal Xhosa regalia.

Anele has not shared the news and the details, but MDN news took to their X (formerly Twitter) page to share some snaps from what seemed to be a vibrant ceremony.

From the pictures shared, Anele and her husband are seated on top of a traditional grass mat, in a traditionally designed space.
