 The Xhosa actress is an amiable character who often keeps her private life private and prefers to keep viewers stunned with her acting skills. This weekend, however, she surprised many as she took to instagram to announce the news of her engagement.

The execution of the proposal shows it was thoroughly thought through. The set up of the proposal made it quite evident that Buntu’s fiancé had gone all out as the proposal depicted nothing short of a scene from a romance novel. Some of the detailing included polaroid pictures of the couple hanging from the roof, rose petals alongside lit candles placed on the side aisles of the entrance.

The Miseducation starring was extremely stunned upon seeing the set up and noticing the words “Marry Me”.
