Renowned South African composer and producer Lebo M is preparing to walk down the aisle for the 10th time after getting engaged to his longtime partner, Malefu “Mel” Ntsala.
The Grammy Award-winning creator of *The Lion King* soundtrack made news this weekend after rekindling his romance with Ntsala, a former fiancée.
The couple had previously called off their engagement when Lebo M married someone else. Now, following his recent and highly publicized split from Pretty Samuels, he is set to say “I do” once again.
Sources close to the couple confirmed the engagement, and photos of the pair looking happy together have been shared on social media. Fans and critics have shared mixed reactions, ranging from congratulations to surprise at Lebo M’s eventful romantic history.
This upcoming marriage will be his 10th, following previous unions with Viveca Gipson, Nandi Ndlovu, Angela Ngani-Casara (twice), and others, including engagements to actress Zoe Mthiyane and now again to Ntsala.
Despite public attention, Lebo M seems unbothered. In a recent Instagram post, he wrote:
“The day we stop believing in love and possibilities is the day we stop dreaming. Very grateful to find my dream come true and to begin this new chapter.”
With his 10th wedding approaching, Lebo M’s faith in love remains as strong as ever.
