In an industry where relationships often flicker like candles in the wind, Kabelo and Gail Mabalane shine as a glowing testament to enduring love.
On Sunday, February 9, the beloved couple celebrated their 12th wedding anniversary - a remarkable milestone that encompasses not only the passage of time but also the unwavering devotion they have demonstrated to one another and their family.
Kabelo, celebrated for his dynamic career as a musician and television personality, and Gail, a talented actress and thriving business entrepreneur, have consistently captivated the hearts of South Africans with their authenticity and commitment.
Their social media presence allows followers a glimpse into their beautiful journey together, inspiring many with their cohesive bond and shared values.
As part of the anniversary celebration, the couple shared heartfelt messages and photographs on Instagram, encapsulating treasured memories from their twelve years together.
Kabelo expressed his gratitude and reflection on their journey, stating, “What a ride. 12 is such a significant number! It has not been by might nor power but by his spirit. May we continue to be sensitive to His Spirit as His Spirit continues to lead us, my love. Happy Anniversary.”
In her touching message, Gail wrote: “#12YEARS, countless memories, and a love that keeps growing stronger. Grateful for every moment with you my skat. Here’s to many more years of love, laughter, and adventures together. Cheers to failing forward.”
The Mabalane couple's synergy extends far beyond their public personas; they have become advocates for family values, showcasing a robust partnership that not only supports their aspirations but also nurtures the love and legacy they have crafted together.
Reflecting on their journey during an interview on The Makhs YouTube channel in 2023, the faith-driven couple shared the touching story of their first meeting.
They were introduced by a mutual friend at a home cell prayer evening hosted by Kabelo.
Kabelo, who had previously made hasty decisions regarding romantic interests, was drawn to Gail’s profound understanding of the scriptures, which ultimately swept him off his feet.
“It gave me direction and purpose, and helped steer what it is that God is trying to do through me,” Gail remarked when discussing what she loves most about their marriage.
“There is a lot of power in unity ... to have somebody to do life with is a blessing because you can have fun, you can have success and all these things but he does sharpen me. When I’m weak he gets to be the stronger one.”
Today, the Mabalane family stands as role models of resilience, love and faith, as they navigate the blessings and challenges of life together, leaving an indelible mark on all they encounter.
