For decent people like ourselves (most of the time), the end of the year brings with it the responsibility to reflect, appreciate and celebrate the good stuff that transpired during the year we are now bidding farewell to. In this list, we take a look at 10 South African celebrities who gave us all the feels in 2016!

BLACK COFFEE & MBALENHLE

They are both some of the most successful celebs in the business, but Black Coffee and Mbalenhle simply love maintaining a low profile about their long term marriage.

The lovebirds often impart butterflies in our tummies when they post adorable snaps of their family on the Gram, whether they are hanging out or travelling the world as they’ve been doing for the better part of the past two years.

List continues after the video.

AKA & BONANG

AKA said recently that his relationship with Bonang Matheba is the pinnacle of South African pop culture. In all fairness, that sounds about right!

These two are arguably the most talked about celebrity couple in South Africa, grabbing headlines for their individual success and for their now highly googled relationship.

They can be spotted on social media showcasing their awe inspiring romance in pictures, supporting each other and wearing each other’s merch! Can you say power couple?

NANDI MADIDA & ZAKES BANTWINI

Nandi and Zakes recently premiered the first snaps of their one month old son Shaka Madida, sending the internet into a meltdown! The couple, who is relatively conservative about the amount of sharing they do about their relationship, sometimes inspire us to hit Tinder for our turn in love when they do decide to treat fans to visuals concerning love goals.

They sing together, perform together, do interviews together and obviously, have stayed together!

DINEO MOEKETSI & SOLO

They kept their romance under the radar for the longest time, but now that Dineo Moeketsi and Solo have decided to go public, we can’t stop marrying them in our minds! Also one of the best dressed South African celebrity couples in the land, the couple are always coordinating their high end fashion looks on the red carpet because couples that dress alike stay together.

MINNIE DLAMINI & QUINTON JONES

We reported that Minnie Dlamini is now happily engaged to TV producer Quinton Jones, who she describes as her ‘best friend’! She also revealed that he quite a private person, and that they had kept their two year relationship away from the public eye for their love of privacy. She says he is also supportive of her work as well. Oh, and that engagement ring!

NOMZAMO MBATHA & MAPS MAPONYANE

It took them quite a minute to ‘fess up to their romance. And after months of referring to each other as ‘buddyship’, they confirmed that they have in fact been seeing each other.

They are both killing it in the business right now, they are both hot as hell and they appear on QuenchSA’s top 10 best dressed celebrities lists for 2016. We want what they have!

AYANDA THABETHE & DASH MKHATHINI

‘Dashanda’ would work pretty well for these inseparable lovebirds, but Dash and Ayanda already have a converged name they use to be playful on social media, thank you!

On top of serving couple goals and publicly supporting each other’s careers, the couple now host Christmas parties together because we have fun and make money together mos.

PEARL THUSI & ROBERT MARAWA

Robert Marawa is the pinnacle of South African sports presenting and Pearl Thusi is in Hollywood gaining global superstardom – this is the ultimate power couple!

They don’t say much about their relationship, but thanks to the social media bug and edge, we sometimes get the rare throwback picture and a snap of fingers holding each other if we are lucky enough on that day.

PRIDDY UGLY & BONTLE MODISELLE

Oh, young love is so awe inspiring! Rapper Priddy Ugly and Bontle Modiselle are both hot property in their respective fields, but the two have stuck together for 9 years to show us all that true love still exists. And because marking one’s territory is important, they leave no one in doubt that they’ve long been off the market.

CONNIE & SHONA FERGUSON 

Connie and Shona Ferguson have been married for eons, and they are still at it. The actors turned business partners are now slaying the production company game together, with Ferguson Films basically producing everything that matters on TV right now. When we grow up, we want to be like them.
