These South African celebrity couples make bank…and romance look easy.
Patrice Motsepe & Dr. Precious Moloi Motsepe
The Motsepes are South Africa’s most influential black couple in various areas including philathrophy, medicine, mining and we dare say, fashion. With a net worth exceeding R25 billion according to Forbes, they maintain an enviable life of opulence and access.
Dr. Precious is a qualified medical doctor boasting an impressive resume. But being a concerned pioneer, she opened up one of the country’s first women’s health clinics. She oversees the operation of several key organisations, including the Motsepe Family Foundation. Patrice, on the other hand, has his own billion dollar mining company, African Rainbow Minerals. He is also the richest black man in South Africa.
With all their wealth, the couple remains fairly modest. They have vowed to donate half of their money to charity.

Khanyi Dhlomo & Chinezi Chijoke
A match totally made in heaven! Khanyi Dhlomo finally found someone hot and clever she can finally hold down a conversation with, without ending up with a headache. The self made millionaire with a media and retail empire tied the knot with the education expert and entrepreneur in 2009.
She founded Destiny Magazine and DestinyConnect.com, as well that million rand Luminance boutique ko Hyde Park. Chigozie is also an over achiever. He is the founder and CEO of Pioneer Acedemics, and has been the head of McKinsely & Company’s African Education Practice.
Cyril Ramaphosa & Dr. Tshepo Motsepe
He is the head of the Shanduka Group with an estimated net worth of R550 million in the bank. He is also a key player within the echelons of the African Nation Congress, South Africa’s leading party. In fact, the party’s vice president has already been tipped as the country’s next president.
His discernible ambition strikes a perfect match with that of his wife, Tshepo Motsepe. If that surname sounds familiar, it is because she is the older sister of the country’s richest man, Patrice Motsepe. Bur really that is besides the point.
Dr. Tshepo is a doctor by profession (although her resume has seen her taking a leadership position in various organisations and projects). Not only does she have a huge mind, she is in the ASHA early Childhood and Development Board of Trustees.
Basetsana & Romeo Khumalo
They maintain a fairly low profile away from the camera, but Basetsana and Romeo Khumalo remain one of South Africa’s most adored celebrity couples. Jill of all trades Basetsana capitalised on her title as former Miss South Africa to build a massive empire.
The media mogul, TV personality, executive producer, fashion icon and philathropist and the businessman exhibit all the signs of a couple on a hustle.
Shona and Connie Ferguson
The Fergies constitute a fierce South Africa media power house couple. Married since forever, the lovebirds have not let their numerious profiles as actors, entrepreneurs and brand ambassadors come in the way of their resilient romance.
Most notably, they both star on Mzansi’s best drama series, Rockville. The show is created and produced by their production company. On the other hand, Connie is back as the lead actress on the country’s highest rated soapie, Generations The Legacy.
Black Coffee & Mbalenhle
The biggest DJ in South Africa and Mbalenhle Mlotshwa have a lot in common, like succeeding numerous gigs to make sure the income flow stays sorted.
He is now considered the biggest vynal DJ to have emerged from this part of the world, and endorsement deals have rang to that effect. She takes on TV presenting and acting at the same time. And together, they contribute substantially to the bills.
Pearl Thusi & Robert Marawa
Too soon? These two have yet to confirm their love locked bliss but we shall let them conduct their lives privately. But fact is we know.

Although not married, we can safely say together they birth a force to be reckoned with. Robert Marawa is the highest paid sports presenter in South Africa. The Sports presenter holds down several gigs, all which draw consistent high ratings.
Pearl is the juggle radio presenting, TV presenting, modelling and motherhood with ease.
Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe are in for a treat. Disney+ has announced that 1 February marks the arrival of Marvel Studios’ “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.” The blockbuster will be joining 16 other on the streaming platform.
ABOUT THE MOVIE
Queen Ramonda (Angela Bassett), Shuri (Letitia Wright), M’Baku (Winston Duke), Okoye (Danai Gurira) and the Dora Milaje (including Florence Kasumba) fight to protect their nation from intervening world powers in the wake of King T’Challa’s death.
As the Wakandans strive to embrace their next chapter, the heroes must band together with the help of War Dog Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o) and Everett Ross (Martin Freeman) and forge a new path for the kingdom of Wakanda. Introducing Tenoch Huerta Mejía as Namor, ruler of a hidden undersea nation, the film also stars Dominique Thorne, Michaela Coel, Mabel Cadena and Alex Livinalli.
“Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” directed by Ryan Coogler and produced by Kevin Feige and Nate Moore, is now playing in theaters.
They are one of South Africa’s most revered music duos.
Their discography packs both blockbuster club bangers and lush delights for lovers of House with a transcendental African sonic flair. And the explosive fallout of Black Motion, which has been splashed across the internet long before reaching the courts, has shocked many.
Loved for their electrifying live performances and awe-inspiring chemistry, Mörda and Smol have always seemed like musical soulmates. But that relationship seems to have reached a bitter end.
In 2022, rumours of their reported split triggered a frenzy on the internet. Following the uproar, the group’s members Bongani Mohosana, who now goes as Mörda, and Smol (real name Roy Thabo Mabogwane), jointly calmed fears that they had fallen out.
It had been said the break would be temporary, as Mörda moved to focus on the release of his solo studio album.
Far from it, it now seems. The parties have escalated things to court.
According to reports, Black Motions have confirmed that they had pressed charges against Mörda for alleged housebreaking and theft.
A court order by the High Court in Gauteng posted on social media has ordered Morda to “restore possession of a recording studio apparatus” to the group by 13 January, at 5pm.
Black Motion shared snaps of the alleged damage caused by Morda – a broken door and stolen equipment.

It looks like we won’t be getting a new Black Motion album with Mörda anytime soon.

Inside the Big Brother Titans Premiere!
South Africa and Nigeria unite under Biggie’s roof.
Sunday, 15 February 2023, marks the roaring arrival of BBTitans.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW.
The highly anticipated social experiment brings under Biggie’s roof housemates from both South Africa and Nigeria. And for 72 days, we will be splashed with the finest in South African and Nigerian swag, banter, romance and all the trappings of a fun-filled, dramatic and – we’d hope – an entertaining show.
A first of its kind, the social experiment assembles the most colourful personalities from the two nations to outwit, outplay and outsmart each other in a bid to get their hands on a massive bag, life-changing bag!
In addition to a number of lofty prizes that will likely be on the line throughout the season, the winner of the show will also be walking away, a whopping grand prize of US $100 000 (over R1,7 million) is up for grabs for the one who trounces his Housemates to charm audiences across the continent.
That’s not all; the amount of social capital, celebrity and opportunities for lucrative brand deals after the show, all form part of the career-launching lift-off that comes with being on the popular franchise.
Both Big Brother Mzansi host Lawrence Maleka and Big Brother Naija’s Ebuka Obi-Uchendu will co-host this debut season.
Fans of Big Brother Mzansi and Big Brother Naija in the diaspora are not left out as Showmax will stream the show in the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and about 50 other countries.
