Sithelo Shozi’s lobola day saw the DJ dressed in traditional makoti attire as she celebrated alongside her maidens. Magura had previously promised to pay lobola after asking Sithelo to marry him in Italy four months ago.
The relationship has placed Sithelo back in the spotlight after her previous high-profile romances attracted significant public attention. According to SurgeZirc SA she shares her first child with Lord Phil Maseko and has two other children with Andile Mpisane. Mpisane later married another woman while he and Sithelo were still together, adding to the public interest surrounding their relationship history.
Magura’s proposal in Italy came as a surprise to many followers who have followed Sithelo’s relationship journey.
