On Friday, 29 March, Basetsana Kumalo turned 50 years old.

She shared in an Instagram post: “It was God ordained and anointed that I turn fifty on Good Friday.

“I am one highly favoured woman. On this Jubilee year, marking half a century, I thank the Lord who has carried me through the years. I am who I am because greater is He that is in me than the one that is in the world”.

According to the Sunday Times, the media mogul invited VIP guests to attend her “golden jubilee” celebration in Cape Town over the Easter weekend.

The three-day itinerary kicked off with a dinner themed “Boogie Wonderland” at the Pigalle restaurant on Friday evening.

The next day, guests were treated to a lavish party called “The Gratitude Banquet and Birthday Celebration” at Tokai’s sprawling Norval Foundation.

On Sunday, festivities continue with a Thanksgiving picnic in Bishopscourt.

Celebrities like Thuli Madonsela, Tamaryn Green, Nandi Madida, Zakes Bantwini, Nomzamo Mbatha, and Pearl Thusi attended the celebrations.

Basetsana wore two glittering gowns at her Friday night party courtesy of Gavin Rajah and Hangwani Nengovhela’s Rubicon Clothing.

Addressing guests, her husband Romeo said during his speech: “You could have been somewhere else, and here you are on this special occasion celebrating this amazing woman that I call my wife. The mother of my children, and the love of my life.”
