Anele Mdoda's husband, Buzza Mgudlwa, has raved about his wife as the couple's Netflix wedding special, Anele & Buzza: Stars and Vows, begins streaming. The series, which dropped on Friday, 13 November 2026, pulls back the curtain on a celebration that was deliberately kept out of the public eye.
The couple had already marked their traditional wedding before their white wedding took place, but the lack of photographs and details left many fans curious. Anele admitted that her absence from radio was the clearest signal something significant was happening.
"The easiest way to know that something is up is for me to be off air because people know I don't miss my radio show. So it was like, where is she?"

A royal celebration in Stellenbosch
The wedding celebrations were held in Stellenbosch, in what the couple describes as a setting that matched the weight of the occasion. Anele was deliberate about the aesthetic, wanting it to reflect the standard of Buzza's royal family.
"It was absolutely royal. That's what I wanted because I wanted something that was going to meet the same level of royalty that Buzza's family is going to welcome us with."
Shades of blue featured throughout, and the ceremony took place in a church officiated by a bishop who had also buried her mother, making the moment deeply personal. Buzza, who has known Anele long before their relationship became public, described her journey as an elevation rather than a reinvention. For him, the woman he married has remained the same iconic figure, now surrounded by a wider support system.

Building legacy through family
Anele & Buzza: Stars and Vows is now streaming on Netflix. Beyond the celebrations, both Anele and Buzza are focused on building something lasting. The 947 Breakfast host spoke at length about the importance of bringing their two families together regularly, drawing inspiration from the way the Zulu kingdom maintains community through shared gatherings. She praised Buzza's older sister, whom she describes as the family's matriarch, for creating traditions through carefully planned themes and chants shared via a WhatsApp group.
"Our marriage means that once a year or twice a year, but at the very least once a year, we want both families together under the umbrella of Ngubengcuka," Anele said.
Marriage has also shifted how the veteran broadcaster navigates public opinion. After 25 years in the industry, she says the security of her home life has softened her need to defend herself online.
"I used to be quite militant, and I wanted to fight how you see me, how you view me. Being able to go home to this family that Buzza has put together for me, it made me realise that those are the only people I'm accountable to."
