JR Bogopa And Tshepi Vundla To Wed This Month
In December 2022, JR paid lobola for Tshepi. This gesture paved the way for their traditional wedding, where JR’s family formally welcomed Tshepi into their fold.
Tshepi expressed her gratitude on social media:
“Thank you to the Bogopa family for the warmest welcome into their family. I and my family felt the love. I am very lucky that my in-laws are incredibly special people.“
The couple is now preparing for their white wedding, with sources indicating that the date has been set for the festive season. However, details remain under wraps due to a non-disclosure agreement.
“We can’t share the details (of the wedding) because we had to sign a non-disclosure agreement,” a source said to Zimoja.
Tshepi shared a glimpse of the celebration, posting a picture of herself and JR being welcomed by her in-laws, and thanked her mother-in-law for the “dress of my dreams.”
