In a Twitter (X) video shared by Newzroom Afrika, Xaba spoke on the podium and recounted how he and Zahara got to know each other, saying they were connected by trading personal stories:

"From the first night we met, we shared deep personal conversations as I was not in the best frame of mind. After that, she somehow got hold of my number from a friend, and she reached out and said, 'Bhuti, we were still talking.'

"I was sceptical at first, because what business do I have with celebrities? But she wasn't speaking from a place of the pedestal she was on at the time; it was a very human and real place.

"She told me she would say this on our wedding day; that I stood her up three times. On the third time, I made various excuses, saying there was bad weather. My friend posted a video of a flood, and I sent it to Zahara, saying I can't drive from Pretoria because the roads are flooded.
