South African media mogul Basetsana Kumalo and her husband, businessman Romeo Kumalo, are celebrating their twentieth wedding anniversary today, December 09, 2025.
To mark the occasion, Basetsana shared a deeply heartfelt message honouring their journey together.
In her letter, she reflects on a love story that began with youthful optimism and has grown into a legacy shaped by shared dreams, challenges and triumphs.
“When I look back, I see a young couple with big dreams, trusting that love, faith and commitment would carry them,” she wrote. Over the years, those dreams have been strengthened by seasons that tested them and moments that moulded them, all anchored by Romeo’s steady presence.
What stands out in her message is her admiration, not only for Romeo as a husband, but for the values that have guided their relationship.
She praises his patience, honour and humility, describing him as a man whose quiet courage and kindness have held their family together. For Basetsana, these qualities have created a deep sense of safety and companionship.
“Through it all, you have been my constant companion, my confidant and my safe place,” she said.
As they celebrate their silver anniversary, Basetsana reflects on how love evolves and matures. It is no longer defined by grand gestures, but by the small, everyday acts that build a meaningful life.
“Love grows gentler, richer and more rooted,” she writes, adding that choosing each other daily, even as the years change them, has been central to their marriage. “Even as the years change us, I choose you every day.”
Her message is filled with gratitude for the life they have built together, the shared laughter, the quiet moments, and the strength they have drawn from one another.
Looking ahead, Basetsana expresses hope and anticipation for the years still to come. She speaks of new chapters waiting to be written and a family legacy they continue to nurture. Her letter ends with a blessing, a prayer of gratitude and divine guidance over their union: “May God keep blessing our union, guiding us with grace and surrounding our home with peace.”
