Bishop Mpendulo Nkambule has shared a deeply moving tribute to his late wife, renowned media personality and businesswoman Zanele Mbokazi-Nkambule, on what would have been their 15th wedding anniversary.
The couple tied the knot in a glamorous ceremony 15 years ago in 2011 at the Champagne Sports Resort in KwaZulu-Natal.
Their union was one of the most talked-about high-profile weddings at the time, with popular SABC show Top Billing even in attendance to capture the lavish nuptials between the affluent businesswoman and the Bishop.
A Love That Stood The Test Of Time
In a heartfelt post, Bishop Nkambule reflected on the journey they shared, remembering Zanele not just as his wife, but as his partner, friend, and support system.
Fifteen years ago, they exchanged vows, promising to walk life together. Today, while Zanele is no longer here physically, the Bishop says her love and legacy continue to live on in his heart and in the lives of those she touched.
Friends, family and followers flooded his social media page with messages of comfort, reminding him that Zanele’s light still shines bright through her work, her ministry, and the memories she left behind.
Remembering Zanele Mbokazi
Zanele Mbokazi was more than just a prominent media figure. She was a respected broadcaster, businesswoman, and founder of the Crown Gospel Music Awards, known for her elegance, her faith, and her impact in the gospel industry.
Her passing left a huge void in the entertainment and gospel community, but tributes like this show how deeply she was loved and how unforgettable her presence was.
For Bishop Nkambule, today is not just about mourning, but about celebrating 15 years of a love that was real, powerful, and enduring.
“15 years ago we said ‘I do’ and I still do,” his tribute read in essence, as he honoured the woman who stood beside him through it all.
“It would have been our 15th Wedding Anniversary today. This video was taken on the 20th of August 2023 at Signature Restaurant in Sandton. My wife taught me to celebrate every moment worth celebrating no matter how small. I continue to celebrate our beautiful love story. I truly was blessed to find love. I am happy that my beautiful wife, @mbokazizanele knew that I loved her loudly and unapologetically so. Keep resting in God’s presence my queen. Your absence is too loud but the thought of you still warms my heart. I continue to celebrate your blessed memory. I love you still.
Happy 15th Anniversary.
Till then.
