In the latest episode of the wildly popular podcast "What Now with Trevor Noah", listeners were treated to a delightful conversation between host Trevor Noah and his friends, radio presenter and film producer Anele Mdoda and fellow radio personality Sizwe Dhlomo.
The episode took a heartfelt turn as Mdoda, who recently celebrated her traditional marriage to Bonelela Buzza James, opened up about her exciting new chapter as a bride.
Describing her experience of being newly married, Mdoda radiated happiness as she shared: "I'm spoiled, I'm pampered, it's nice. I do nothing which is great ... They try to tell us women, you must cook, you must clean, no, none of that. The real marriage is that it's the man that does everything."
She continued to say that all she needed to do was cook.
"It's so nice to find a partner, like I've literally found an equal, like he my dude, he's my guy. I feel so protected and safe and it's just that entire thing. Also because he's the one person in the world that I don't have to convince to be on my side. He is automatically on my side."

While Mdoda celebrated her marital bliss, Dhlomo chimed in with playful banter, teasing the possibility of his own secret marriage.
The light-hearted conversation continued as Noah revealed that Mdoda's upcoming white wedding would be a significant milestone for him - it would be the first wedding he has ever attended.
"I've never attended a wedding ever in my life ... A part of the reason I don't attend weddings is because I work to much and the other reason is that people don't invite me to their weddings or they uninvite me because I am me," said Noah.
Curious about wedding etiquette, he sought advice from Mdoda regarding her special day.
"Is there anything I should or shouldn't do?"
To which Mdoda responded: "You'll be fine, Trevor. You've been to the Oscars and Grammy's ..."
She also divulged the one rule that she will never break when attending weddings.
"I have a hard rule that I do not take photos at weddings with people because it's all about the couple, leave me out of it," said Mdoda.
