To celebrate the milestone, Zandie penned a heartwarming message dedicated to her husband on Instagram.
She opened up about becoming Mrs Gumede and how her husband handled the lobola process.
“10 years later, siyisikhonkwane [we are hooked] no Gumede ngeke usenze lutho futhi [you can’t do anything to us]. It’s been years of love, growth and grace,” she added.
Open to polygamy
In August last year, rumours surfaced that Zandie’s husband was taking a second wife.
Zandie told Zimoja at the time that she was open to being in a polygamous marriage.
“I am an African and completely for iSthembu, ngikhulele khona esithenjini [I grew up in a polygamous home] through my grandfather.
“I am here kwaGumede ukuzokwakha umuzi [to build the Gumede name], and uGumede is the leader and the head of this family,” Zandie said.
However, she did not confirm whether her husband was taking a second wife, saying it was a family matter.
A source close to the couple told the publication that the families had already met and had a welcoming ceremony for wife number two.
