Meanwhile, in April 2025, after her "secret wedding" made headlines for weeks, radio personality Anele Mdoda clarified that she is not yet married, despite rumours sparked by the leaked lobola pictures shared by her friend Khaya Dlanga.

During a conversation on Anele And The Club, she explained that the event was the completion of the lobola process, not a wedding. Fans reacted to the discussion on social media, with mixed opinions about the cultural implications of lobola and its significance in African marriage.

"I am not married. What you have been witnessing on social media is not a wedding. That was the final celebration of lobola being paid to my family from my fiancé's family. He is still my fiancé, we are not married yet."
