A routine spa day turned into something far more memorable for South African actress Yolanda Buthelezi, who crossed paths with British singer-songwriter and television personality Rita Ora at the Saxon Hotel, Villas & Spa in Sandhurst, Johannesburg.
Buthelezi took to TikTok to share a video of the two women relaxing together inside the pool, captioning it: "POV: you went to the spa on a random Monday and somehow ended up having a great chat with RITA ORA." She also described Ora as "so sweet and gorgeous" in her caption, clearly charmed by the unexpected run-in.
How the meeting unfolded
Yolanda Buthelezi later revealed in the comments section that she had asked Ora's permission to film and share the clip, and Ora gave her the green light to post it. What makes the moment even more delightful is that Buthelezi admitted she did not immediately clock who she was speaking to. It was only mid-conversation that it suddenly dawned on her. Several fans in the comments shared the same sentiment, noting they would not have recognised Ora themselves.
