Real or PR stunt?: Naledi Aphiwe sparks wedding rumors with Makoti photos! South African social media has been sent into a frenzy after singer and influencer Naledi Aphiwe posted stunning photos of herself dressed as a makoti (a bride). Her caption, “Kufeziwe ❤️” (which loosely translates to “It’s done”), instantly sparked speculation that lobola had been paid and that she had officially tied the knot.
Fans React: Real Wedding or Music Video?
As soon as the photos surfaced, Naledi’s comment section was flooded with mixed reactions. Some fans were quick to congratulate her on what seemed to be the beginning of a new chapter in her life, while others weren’t so easily convinced.
“Congratulations, sis! May your union be blessed,” one fan wrote, celebrating what they believed to be her wedding day.
However, skepticism was just as loud, with many followers doubting the authenticity of her bridal look.
“Wena, you play too much. Angisakholwa yilutho ,” one follower commented, suggesting that Naledi was trolling her fans again.
“It’s a music video, guys. Ya alililili You’ll believe me later,” another insisted.
“Music video because those uncles are not make sure,” someone else added, pointing out details that made the event seem staged.

Makoti Look: Traditional Yet Stylish
