Former House of Zwide actress Shalate Sekhabi has officially announced her engagement — and yes, it’s to her former on-screen husband, Wanda Zuma.
The actress, who played Shoki on the hit e.tv drama, shared the exciting news with fans in a video posted on October 4, 2025. In the clip, she flashes a diamond ring on her finger while singing, “I’ve got a ring on my wedding finger.”
Fans Celebrate the News
Social media exploded with congratulations soon after the video dropped. Fans flooded her comments with love and excitement, calling the engagement “the best crossover ever” between TV and real life.
One user wrote, “From Shoki and Nkosi on screen to husband and wife in real life? This is beautiful!” Another commented, “They made us believe in love again.”
Co-Stars Send Their Love
Several House of Zwide cast members joined in on the celebration, leaving heart emojis and congratulatory messages. Industry friends praised Shalate and Wanda for keeping their romance low-key and genuine.
Although neither of them has shared details about wedding plans yet, the pair seem deeply happy — and fans are already calling them one of Mzansi’s favorite couples.
From On-Screen Chemistry to Real-Life Love
Shalate and Wanda’s chemistry as Shoki and Nkosi was one of the strongest storylines on House of Zwide. Fans have long suspected there was something more between them off-screen, and now the engagement confirms what many hoped for — that their love story didn’t end when the cameras stopped rolling.
