Kwesta and his wife, Yolanda Vilakazi, recently opened up about their enduring love ahead of their 16th anniversary.

Two years into their relationship, still finding their feet in their respective careers, then 22-year-old Yolanda fell pregnant with their first-born, Khai, a time the businesswoman/ influencer described as scary.

"We were both young, and I was really scared. I didn't know how I would tell my dad, who is very strict."

However, Yolanda revealed that Kwesta's reaction to the pregnancy, as well as his actions, reassured her that everything would be okay. She said this was when she knew that her then-boyfriend was the man for her.

"I knew he was the one because of how he handled that whole situation. Kwesta was excited about the baby. It's how he was, and is, as a father, that made me realise this was the man I was going to marry."

Reflecting on the experience, the Ngud' rapper said it gave him a sense of purpose and drive to make a success out of his music career.

Nine years after their daughter was born, Kwesta's uncles visited Yolanda's family to negotiate her lobola and officially kick off the process for their traditional wedding.
