Media personality, Anele Mdoda and her soon-to-be husband, a prince from AbaThembu clan, Bonelela ‘Buzza’ James hosted a bridal and groomsmen announcement party for their highly anticipated wedding.

The pair hosted an intimate candlelit party, themed Royal Rebels; which saw the internationally recognised Sicathamiya group, Ladysmith Black Mambazo perform at the private affair.

Announced as part of the bridal party were Anele’s friends, who she has known for decades. Neo Nontso will serve as the maid of honour, Anele described her as the one who has a personality closest to her. She alluded that she believes Neo will be able to look after everyone on the big day with ease. And she trusts that nothing will go wrong on her watch.

Cindy Poluta has also been unveiled as a bridesmaid, the bride-to-be described her as loyal and a funniest person she has ever met. She also regards her as her favourite example of marriage and parenting.

Daisy Makoni also made the cut, Anele revealed that she believes in Daisy. She described her as a focused and loving girl. She said Daisy is also another great examples of marriage and parenting in her books. Another one is Mrs Nodada, she poignantly described her as a person who is slow to speak and thorough in her actions. Another highlight is that Anele and Mrs Nodada’s mom’s were best friends.

Ezile and Pilani Bubu revealed as part of the bridesmaids, she shared that they had been celebrating each other since the 2000s, and alluded that to know them is to know peace.

And last but not least is Rose Mungofa, she described her as a wonderful mother and solid wife. Anele also revealed that they have been friends for 17 years, and their bond is still as strong as ever.
