South African comedian Mpho Popps and his wife Latoya Mei recently sealed their union with a lovely traditional wedding ceremony.

On 20 September 2025, the couple celebrated their Umembeso, which is a ceremony in which the groom’s family presents gifts to the bride’s family as a gesture of gratitude and respect.

Looking back at the ceremony on 2 October, Popps (real name Mpho Modikoane) posted pictures from the occasion and wrote:

"From now on, please call me Ntate Modikoane, and you may address @latoyahmei_ as Ma-Modikoane. @imanimodikoane is still Imani Bazookah Modikoane."

In a later post, he reflected on the celebration, saying it was the best day of the year:
