The Instagram image featuring a big rock on her ring finger.
Club 808 presenter and Rockville actress Boitumelo Thulo, also known as “Boity”, made waves again on social media over the weekend as she posted a pic of her latest vehicle purchase. She is said to be returning in the fourth season of Mzansi Magic’s Rockville along with industry legends Sello Maake kaNcube and Connie Ferguson of Ferguson films.
However it was not the beautiful pearl white Merc which caught my eye, but rather the ring on the actress’s left hand. Could Boity be engaged? And if so to who? If true, Boity will join TV personality Pearl Thusi, who also got engaged to her alleged boyfriend Robert Marawa of SuperSport and Metro FM Talk with Marawa. The two are said to have gotten engaged in Durban during the weekend of the South Africa Music Awards earlier in June.
Boity had been on a True Love Magazine cover in April, discussing her unfortunate break-up with South African hip-hop artist and her high-school sweetheart Cassper Nyovest via sms. The two had been rumoured to be a couple and were long-lost lovers who confirmed their affections for one another in 2015, with images of their holiday in Mauritius circulating on both their Instagram pages breaking local social media highs.
The 26-year-old actress who has recently purchased a house valued at R3.95 million for her 26th birthday has now added a stunning Mercedes Benz GLA 45 AMG – alleged to be valued at R816 600 excl VAT – to her growing list of upmarket assets. Among other achievements, Boity has reached 1 million Instagram followers together with landing a new show on MTV Africa, Ridiculous, to co-present alongside actor and co-founder of Parental Advisory productions Thomas Gumede.
It looks like 2016 has been a great year for Ms Thulo.
