The South African broadcaster is officially off the market, and her surname has changed- sort of. Mrs Mbele-Roberts took to social media to give fans a glimpse into her special day.

"From that engagement in a rustic bush setting under the crimson African, this is how the story finally came together. I begin my new journey as part of a union with the kindest and most adorable man. Thanks for the love everybody, regards Mrs Lerato Mbele-Roberts", she captioned one of the posts.

The journalist continued by posting pics of her in a stunning traditional gown, adding "it's good to pay homage to your heritage".

The couple got engaged in September last year in a romantic safari inspired setting.

Although she's usually very private about her personal life, the journalist has documented her journey leading to the altar. From radio interviews to shopping for a dress, she gave fans a rare glimpse into her wedding preparations.
