Nandi Mngoma officially goes under Zakes' surname

Actress and singer Nandi Mngoma has officially changed her surname, which indicates that she and Zakes Bantwini, whose real name is Zakhele Madida, are a married couple.

Nandi and Zakes, who have been an item for years sparked marriage rumours in June this year, when she was spotted with a massive rock on her left-hand ring finger.

Then a few days later the lovebirds were rocked by pregnancy rumours after it was widely reported that Nandi's teeny tiny baby bump was spotted while she was working the prestigious BET Awards red carpet earlier this year.

However, speaking to Sunday Times at the time Nandi poured cold water on the claims.

"I don't know who said I'm married, but apparently I am. And I have put on a lot of weight in the past few months, but I'm not pregnant," she said.

But it seems like there maybe some truth to the rumours as Nandi is officially using Zakes' surname.

Last week Nandi was unveiled as one of the presenters of the highly-anticipated music show Coke Studio.

And on an official invite sent out to the media by the organisation, it states that the event will be hosted by Nandi Madida.
