Buntu Petse, widely recognized for her role as Nontle Mogale in Generations: The Legacy, has opened up about her personal life, sharing insights into her relationship, marriage, and the exciting prospect of becoming a mother.
The actress recently celebrated her traditional wedding to long-term partner Londa Mavundla and announced that the couple is expecting their first child.
A Modern Love Story
Petse’s love story began in an unconventional way, thanks to a bold gesture from a friend who believed it was time for her to find love. Speaking to Sowetan, the actress revealed how her friend took to X (formerly Twitter) in a matchmaking attempt.
“A friend decided to hook me up. She felt it was time that I found love. So, she went on X and put me on blast, Bachelorette style. She asked men who were bold enough to date me to step forward, and Londa happened to be one of those to rear his head,” Petse shared.
It didn’t take long for Mavundla to capture Petse’s attention. The pair started talking in early 2018 and finally met in February when classes resumed at Wits University, where Petse was a student. Just a week after their first meeting, the two officially began dating.
From Long-Term Love to Marriage
After years of dating, Mavundla proposed to Petse in 2023, marking a new chapter in their relationship. Petse took to social media to share photos from the surprise proposal, expressing her joy and gratitude with a heartfelt message:
“Love has truly been good to me. Not even one sad day or minute have I had since you’ve come my way,” she wrote.
The couple recently tied the knot in a traditional wedding ceremony surrounded by family and friends. The intimate celebration was a testament to their enduring love and shared journey.
Expecting Their First Child
Adding to the excitement, Petse and Mavundla recently announced they are expecting their first child. The couple shared the happy news on Instagram, delighting fans and followers with glimpses of their growing family.
This joyous milestone reflects the deep bond they’ve built over the years, rooted in mutual respect and affection.
