Anele Mdoda set social media alight on Friday, 13 November 2026, with a glowing tribute to her close friend Sizwe Dhlomo that left fans questioning everything they thought they knew about the radio personality's love life. The sweet post, shared on X, came on the same day Mdoda's four-episode Netflix wedding docu-soap, *Stars and Vows: Anele & Buzza*, made its debut on the streaming platform.

In the post, Mdoda shared two black-and-white photos of the pair posing together and called Dhlomo her "road dawg" and brother. But it was one particular line that caught everyone off guard:

"The day you get married... imma work like a dog to make sure your wife is happy."

Is Sizwe Dhlomo married?

That single sentence was enough to throw fans into a spin, because back in 2024, Dhlomo himself had strongly implied he was already a married man. Responding to a comment on X suggesting he needed a wife to keep him warm, he replied,

"My wife and I have matching socks, lol."

When another user pressed him further, asking when exactly he had tied the knot, he cryptically said:

"Remember that holiday about two years ago?"

Mdoda's tribute appeared to tell a very different story, with her use of "the day you get married" suggesting Dhlomo has yet to walk down the aisle.

Some fans suspected the timing of the post was not entirely coincidental, noting it landed perfectly on the premiere day of Stars and Vows, which promises a no-holds-barred look at the real emotions, cultural traditions and behind-the-scenes moments that defined Mdoda and her partner Buzza's journey to the altar.
