Actress Buntu Petse and her partner Londa Mavundla have been making waves with their recent pregnancy announcement and public display of love. The couple, who got engaged last year, shared that they are expecting their first child—a baby boy—revealing their excitement and gratitude for this new chapter.
In an interview with TshisaLIVE, Buntu spoke openly about her decision to share her personal life with the public. “You have to guard the things you care about most, but also on the flip side, being someone who is a public figure, I didn’t want to shy away from things I love, including my man and the sort of union we have,” she explained. “I hope it inspires people, especially in this day and age where young couples are emerging, but we keep hearing the saying ‘the streets are cold.’ I think it was important for me to share this part of my life.”
Londa, who has been a strong supporter of Buntu’s career, also weighed in on the challenges and rewards of dating someone in the public eye. “You are exposed to an environment which you’re not usually exposed to. It’s cool. I just like being a normal person in the environment of celebrities,” he said. He added that he was comfortable with Buntu’s on-screen roles, recalling how he used to watch her perform at Wits University. “I used to watch her kiss people on stage when she used to do plays and rehearsals. It’s so easy because it’s part of the job. Whatever happens on screen is part of the script. It’s a job, so I’m easy about it.”
The couple’s announcement in November that they are expecting a baby boy comes after a year of major milestones, including their engagement. Buntu expressed her gratitude, saying, “I’m lucky, blessed and chosen by God. I always stay in gratitude and try to celebrate the little and the big things too. I can’t wait to get to the other side and have our little bundle of joy. Our little mixture.”
