The young couple met in varsity in January 2018.
In November 2023, Mavundla proposed to Petse during a romantic getaway in Klein Constantia, Cape Town.
Mavundla had a room decorated with candles, rose petals and, of course, the “marry me” signage.
Petse made a name for herself in the entertainment industry through her captivating performances as Mbali Hadebe on Netflix’s “Miseducation” and as Nontle on “Generations: The Legacy”.
Earlier this year, she received her first South African Film and TV Awards nomination.
Buntu was nominated for Best Actress in a TV Series for her role in “Miseducation”, an award ultimately won by Zikhona Sodlaka for her performance in “Gqeberha: The Empire”.
