Cape Town – Congratulations are in order for Idols SA judge JR Bogopa and influencer Tshepi Vundla who have reportedly started their marriage process.
This is after the influencer shared pictures of herself wearing what looks like an engagement ring and dressed in what South African women from most Nguni tribes wear during their lobola negotiation ceremonies.
But what gave it away were the emojis she used to caption the snaps, a cow, a ring, a heart and a rose.
JR who, joined the Idols SA judging panel alongside Thembi Seete after the exit of Randall Abrahams and Unathi Nkayi from the show, reportedly paid lobola for Tshepi who is the daughter of advertising industry veteran, Peter Vundla and Mampoyi Lehloesa over the weekend, reported The Citizen.
