										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 data-start="518" data-end="577">Sources say families have met as traditional talks begin</h2>
<p data-start="579" data-end="747">Former beauty queen and businesswoman Matapa Maila is preparing to walk down the aisle again, and those close to the situation say the journey is already well underway.</p>
<p data-start="749" data-end="1012"><a href="https://mdntvlive.com/the-ap-interview-ukraine-fm-aims-for-february-peace-summit/">MDM News</a> reports that Maila’s fiancé has sent a delegation to her family, a meaningful cultural step that usually signals clear intentions and serious commitment. Sources say the two families have already met, with more traditional proceedings expected to follow.</p>
<p data-start="1014" data-end="1126">Notably, Maila has not publicly introduced her partner, and insiders believe she is keeping it that way for now.</p>
<h2 data-start="1128" data-end="1172">“Over the moon” after a difficult chapter</h2>
<p data-start="1174" data-end="1387">A source close to the situation says Maila is “over the moon” and genuinely excited at the thought of becoming a Mrs again, especially after the heartbreak and public attention that followed her previous marriage.</p>
<p data-start="1389" data-end="1565">The source adds that Maila has made a firm decision to keep her fiancé away from the spotlight, wanting to protect the relationship from public pressure and unwanted headlines.</p>
<p data-start="1567" data-end="1654">“She has decided to keep him a secret until she walks down the aisle,” the source said.</p>
<p data-start="1656" data-end="1841">Maila has been in the public eye before, but interest around her personal life intensified last year when she announced her pregnancy, an update that reportedly stunned many supporters.</p>
<h2 data-start="1843" data-end="1903">Summer wedding expected, with Cape Town ceremony reported</h2>
<p data-start="1905" data-end="2045">Another source claims a summer wedding is likely, with a white wedding in Cape Town expected after the traditional ceremonies are completed.</p>
<p data-start="2047" data-end="2169">“They are going to start with the traditional affairs first, followed by the white wedding in Cape Town,” the source said.</p>
<p data-start="2171" data-end="2413">The source added that the families have already met and described Maila as happy, glowing, and finally at peace. They also suggested her decision to leave her previous marriage may have opened the door to a healthier, more fulfilling chapter.</p>
<h2 data-start="2415" data-end="2434">A growing family</h2>
<p data-start="2436" data-end="2615">According to information shared with MDM News, Maila and her fiancé share a two-year-old child together, making this next step feel even more personal and deeply rooted in family.</p>
<p data-start="2617" data-end="2838">Maila was previously married to businessman Douglas Rikhotso. They share a 10-year-old daughter, Rifuwo. The couple divorced a few years ago amid cheating allegations, a period that drew intense attention and speculation.</p>
<p data-start="2840" data-end="3036">Beyond her personal life, Maila’s accomplishments have continued to stand out. She reportedly holds four degrees and an MBA, a reflection of a woman who has always pushed herself beyond the crown.</p>
<h2 data-start="3038" data-end="3071">Pageant career and public life</h2>
<p data-start="3073" data-end="3286">Maila’s pageant journey has long been part of her public identity. She was <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0-R0No4bj8">crowned Miss Earth South Africa</a> in 2008, later won Mrs South Africa in 2018, and went on to place as first runner-up at Mrs World in 2019.</p>
<h2 data-start="3288" data-end="3316">Maila declines to comment</h2>
<p data-start="3318" data-end="3442">When contacted for comment, Maila refused to speak about the reports, insisting that her private life should remain private.</p>
<p data-start="3444" data-end="3527">“My life is very personal and private so please,” she said, before ending the call.</p>
<p data-start="3529" data-end="3692">For now, the identity of Maila’s fiancé remains unconfirmed publicly, but sources insist the couple is moving forward quietly, confidently, and on their own terms.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">Zondi was on the news lately where he promised to target those who are blasting Misuzulu on social media.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&#8220;This is my promise to the Zulu nation. As per my appointment as the Royal Chancellor, it is my duty to protect the dignity of the king. The people who have been mobilising and creating social media accounts to bash the king will soon be dealt with,&#8221; he said.</p>
