On Wednesday, 22 April 2026, South Africans woke up to news that Sithelo Shozi was off the market after her Zimbabwean boyfriend, Kudzaishe James Magura, got on one knee and proposed during a birthday vacation in Italy.
While the photos were initially leaked on social media, Sithelo Shozi eventually broke her silence on Instagram. She essentially confirmed that the viral images were not AI-generated or from a music video.
As some South Africans reacted to Sithelo Shozi’s engagement, some were curious about her Zimbabwean fiancé, prompting Briefly News to do some digging about him.
Who is Sithelo Shozi’s fiancé, Kudzaishe James Magura?
Sithelo Shozi’s Zimbabwean fiancé is no stranger to controversy and has had a brush with the law. In October 2020, Kudzaishe Jamescai Magura, then 41, was one of three individuals who appeared in the Palm Ridge Specialised Commercial Crimes Court on charges of tax fraud.

Appearing separately, Magura, who served as a director at liquor distributor Siyabulela Trading Enterprise, was accused of submitting documents stating that the company was not operating or making any profit.
According to police spokesperson Captain Ndivhuwo Mulamu, police investigations revealed that Magura's company was trading and made a profit between 2012 and 2015. As a result, SARS allegedly suffered a loss of over R4.6 million for the tax return for the said period.
Magura was released on R5,000 bail, but the status of his case is unknown at the time of publishing.
While Magura’s private life has been kept under wraps, various entertainment blogs claim that he dated the likes of Faith Nketsi, Mihlali Ndamase and other South African baddies before proposing to Sithelo Shozi in Lake Como, Italy.
