According to a Top Billing insert filmed in 2019, shortly after the launch of Basetsana’s memoir, it took the couple two years to build what they once called their dream home.

The foyer that Kumalo and Top Billing host Fezile Mkhize walk into during the insert matches the foyer that is pictured in the listing and the one Basetsana often takes her Instagram pictures in.
