Broadcaster and entrepreneur Anele Mdoda and her hubby Bonelela 'Buzza' James enjoyed Germany over the weekend.
The newlyweds spent the weekend in Europe to watch the UEFA Champions League final, which was held in Munich, Germany.
Since tying the knot in April and making their relationship public, the pair has shared videos and images of each other on their social media pages.
The couple also attended the recent Polo where Mdoda was dressed as the 'matriarch who had to look after the family business after all the men were offed by the enemy'.
Photos of their traditional wedding were widely shared on social media over the weekend. James is a respected lawyer and Xhosa royal from the AbaThembu tribe.

James hops on the husband doing everything trend
The couple hopped on the 'My Name Is' trend, where the husband introduces himself and lists the chores he does around the house, while the woman simply says her name.
The trend pokes fun at the daily lives of married couples and how they split chores. Soon after landing in Germany, Mdoda and her husband played the game by posting James, seemingly doing all the work while on holiday.
'Hi, I'm Buzza James. I've got all the luggage, got the room key, did the check in,' says James while his wife just puts on lip gloss on her lips.
'Hi, I'm Buzza James, I found the restaurant and I ordered the food and the beers,' said James in their version of the social media trend.
Looking cute, with beer in hand, Mdoda just said: 'Hi, I'm Anele,' and took a sip of her beer.
While in Germany, the couple had the opportunity to mingle with retired footballers Bastian Schweinsteiger and Thiago Alcântara.
'What a dream! The city is electric & PSG's aiming for glory. Munich's got that final buzz in the air, and it's pumping. This is not just another game; it's the pinnacle of football, where swagger meets legacy,' James wrote in excitement before the game.
Mdoda and James were part of a group of soccer fans that were flown to Germany by Champions League sponsors Heineken to watch the final between eventual winners Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Inter Milan.
SuperSport presenter Tshepang Mollison, a social media influencer popularly known as Twiggy Moli was one of the other South Africans who watched the game live at the stadium.
While some got to watch the game live at the stadium, a handful of South African fans gathered to watch the match at the Dome in Nasrec, South of Johannesburg.
There were performances by Kwesta, Anatii, and recent Metro FM award winner K.O. Broadcaster Robert Marawa hosted the House Ultimate Champions League Final Viewing Experience.
'It is a big occasion, not just for football lovers but for socialites,' said former Bafana Bafana captain Lucas Radebe, speaking to The Citizen on the day.
'But the main attraction is the game.'

Shade at Siya? Rachel Kolisi posts about 'loyalty'
Rachel Kolisi has shared another cryptic quote, seemingly about her marriage split from Springbok captain Siya Kolisi. Last October, the mother-of-two announced her separation and has been navigating life as a single parent ever since. Rachel has been accused of 'milking public sympathy' with her social media posts ranging from her anxiety attacks to her driving a 'humble' Toyota Yaris. In an Instagram Story, Rachel Kolisi shared another cryptic post on her Instagram Story. It read: 'The only people I owe my loyalty to are those who never made me question theirs'. In recent months, Rachel has posted several quotes that her followers believe are related to her relationship status. Image via Instagram: @siyakolisi In February, Rachel Kolisi suggested that she was being stalked by someone she had purposely blocked. Her post read: 'You block someone on everything, and all of a sudden, xajdhjsd stars are watching your story.' Over the festive season, another read: 'Let the kids believe in Santa. You believed in your ex 25 times.' In his 2023 documentary and autobiography, Rise , Siya admitted to having a rocky relationship with Rachel after confessing to excessive partying, heavy drinking, being addicted to porn, and frequenting strip clubs. There was also the impression that Siya had been unfaithful to his wife. While Siya and Rachel Kolisi have sadly gone their separate ways a year ago, they were still very much in love. Amid the July Springbok test series, Siya posted a collage of images that included his then-wife Rachel and children, as well as fellow players Cheslin Kolbe and Eben Etzebeth and their respective families. In the pics, Rachel and Siya embraced as they smiled for the cameras. Rachel reposted the images, captioning them: 'A Saturday full of my favourite things'.

Sacha on missed kicks: 'Off target, not off track'
Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu has reacted to criticism of his performance in the Springboks game against Georgia at the Mbombela Stadium on Saturday, 19 July. The flyhalf came under fire after missing a series of crucial penalty kicks. Last year, Sacha was inducted into the national rugby team and has made nine test match appearances. In an Instagram post, Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu directly responded to criticism of his missed penalty kicks. Posting a series of pics from Saturday's game, he shared: 'Off target — Not off track. Great experience out in Nelspruit! Thank you, South Africa.' On social media, rugby fans claimed that Sacha had gotten off lightly as compared to fellow flyhalf Manie Libbok, who has often been criticised over his performances. Meanwhile, Rassie Erasmus has conceded that while Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu 'made the most errors', he was 'pleased' with his performance. In a post-match briefing, the Springbok coach said: 'Sacha is not necessarily the first choice. Number ten, we have Manie, who is pretty much on song, and we saw with Handre when he came on that he is pretty solid. 'You can't just look at his goal kicking. He struggled before doing pretty well, but in the warm-up he got a hip pointer injury and we weren't quite sure if we should push him through the game. But he wanted to play, but that's not an excuse for the way he kicked at poles. Rassie added: 'We are pleased overall, it's his second start for us this year and he is younger than the other fly-halves.'
