In the most recent episode of the Uthando Nes’thembu spin-off Izingane Zes’thembu, Mpumelelo treated Tirelo to a surprise dinner, not knowing it would lead to a marriage proposal.
Throughout season 3 of the reality show, the couple has faced several ups and downs in their relationship, particularly after he married his new girlfriend, Amahle Biyela.
“He just told her to dress nicely and smell good,” said Tirelo, reflecting on the special moment.
Blindfolded, she was led to the venue without any idea of what awaited her.
“I am doing this the Western way,” Mpumelelo told her at the time.
Explaining his decision, he said, “I decided to thank her and also ask her not to break up with me, as she had been planning to. I want us to carry on building and growing together.
“I know it will be hard to accept what I am asking, but I am asking that you please accept it.”
When the blindfold was removed, Tirelo laughed while holding back her tears.
Her response was simple: “You’re in.”
A relieved Mpumelelo reacted by saying, “I trust that this goes to show that when you say I do not love you, it is untrue. This thing of you speaking when you are upset comes to an end today.”
