💙 A love story with VUT roots

Long before the wedding celebrations, their story began at VUT.

Singer and former The Soil member Buhlebendalo Mda-Mondi and creative director Botshelo Mondi-Mda first met at VUT in 2009, where Botshelo was studying Fine Art and Buhlebendalo was building her career in music.

Years later, friendship became love, and today they are celebrating a new chapter together.

Congratulations to Buhlebendalo and Botshelo on their union. From the VUT community, we wish you a lifetime of love, friendship and beautiful memories.

As we celebrate 60 years of VUT, stories such as these remind us that a university shapes far more than careers. It is also where lifelong connections can begin.
