While chatting with Metro FM , beautiful singer, actor and entrepreneur, Nandi Madida, explained that before she met Zakes, marriage wasn’t a big deal for her. She said:
“Its so funny because I was never the ‘wedding type of girl’, whether we talking white wedding or traditional. But I met someone who I knew I wanted to get married to, if that makes sense.”
Nandi said she and her sister were always fans of Zakes’ music and dance moves, but before she got to know him, she would have never imagined him as her husband.
She also said it was never a dream of hers to marry within the industry but God and fate had other plans.
“Everyone says you know when you know. I knew by knowing him after a couple of years that, ‘yah, I can make this happen’. He’s just a sweet guy, Zakes is a great human being.”
Though married in an intimate ceremony in 2016, the couple didn’t wish to make headlines because of their love.
In another interview, Zakes Bantwini said:
“It hasn’t been easy because as a public figure people want to know what is going on with you. Some celebs give in and people think that we are all the same and will talk, but we didn’t want that. Suddenly you become Zakes Bantwini, Nandi’s husband and the lines become blurred,” he said.
