South Africans were left puzzled after media personality Thembisa Nxumalo was noticeably absent from her sister Anele Mdoda’s star-studded engagement celebration. The glitzy affair, held on Saturday, 10 May 2025, in Fourways, Johannesburg, was attended by family, friends, and industry A-listers but not Thembisa.
Anele and her fiancé, Bonelela “Buzza” James a respected lawyer and Xhosa prince have been making headlines since the announcement of their engagement at the 97th Academy Awards in March. The engagement party was no less glamorous, with well-known guests and a festive atmosphere marking the beginning of the couple’s new chapter.
However, Thembisa’s absence has sparked widespread speculation, especially given the sisters' once close-knit relationship. While no official statement has been made by either sibling, sources suggest that Thembisa may be navigating personal challenges that kept her away from the celebration.
Reports have emerged indicating trouble in Thembisa’s marriage to Mfanelo Nxumalo, with some alleging a possible separation. Insiders claim there has been limited communication between the pair for some time, and that emotional strain may have played a role in her decision not to attend the event.
Despite the speculation, both sisters have remained silent on the matter, leaving fans wondering about the state of their relationship and what truly led to Thembisa’s absence from such a significant family milestone.
Until either of the Mdoda sisters speaks out, the public can only speculate. But for now, the engagement of Anele and Buzza continues to be celebrated, while questions about familial bonds linger in the background.
