The couple glowed walking hand in hand after saying I do.
Sexwale is estimated to be worth more than R3 billion. His marriage of more than 20 years to Judy van Vuuren ended in an acrimonious divorce in 2013.
Da Silva is private about her personal life. She doesn’t have a Twitter or Instagram profile. Her Facebook account hasn’t been updated since 2013, nor is her work experience public knowledge.
The duo have continued being seen together over the years. In 2015 they attended model Rosette Mogomotsi’s wedding in the Western Cape. The following year they welcomed a baby boy and in that same year, Natacha was in a picture of the couple in their master bedroom during a feature on Sexwale’s riverside home in Dinokeng for Top Billing.
