“Twenty-one years later, I will still choose you, marry you, have your babies, build a life with you and make the most beautiful memories. But then that’s exactly what you have given me and given us. Thank you for your unwavering devotion and love for me and our children.

“You have made it so easy to love you all these years. Happy anniversary to us sthandwa sam. May the hand of God always be upon you, protect you, grant you long life, good health and pure joy! I love you Mntungwa, we love you Pops (as your kids call you).”

In August, the Miss SA 1994 wrote another heartfelt post for Romeo.

“He doesn’t like pictures….he’s also not much for crowds…yes I love this handsome dude, but that’s why I also like him, I like him a whole lot.

“He doesn’t conform and really doesn’t give much credence to who says what and what people think. He inspires me every day,” said the businesswoman.
