At the time, Zulu had discussed plans for a ceremony at his home.

According to Ntuli, Zulu consistently gave her the money she requested.
Sometimes, he even gave her more than she had asked for.
She eventually revealed that she had been saving everything he gave her.
“Well, long story short, I was only testing what he would say if I asked him for money,” Ntuli revealed.
Zulu later joked about wanting his money back.
However, Ntuli surprised him by returning the entire amount she had saved.
The story added another emotional layer to their engagement celebrations.
