In a heart-warming return to love, South African music producer and composer Lebohang Morake, popularly known as Lebo M, has announced his engagement to his partner, Mel Ntsala.
The celebrated figure behind the enchanting scores of Disney’s “The Lion King” took to Instagram to share the delightful news, revealing the romantic escapade that underscored their commitment.
The 60-year-old producer pulled out all the stops to make this engagement unforgettable, whisking Ntsala away to the dazzling city of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.
Posting a series of picturesque moments from their getaway, Morake expressed his elation, stating: “The day we stop believing in love and possibilities is the day we stop dreaming. Absolutely grateful to have fulfilled my dream and begin this new chapter with you. Love always. ❤️”
Lebo M’s journey through love has been marked by both triumph and heartache.
This engagement represents a new chapter for the producer, who will be tying the knot for the fifth time.
Morake had initially proposed to Ntsala in 2020, but the couple parted ways for a period after he reportedly rekindled a relationship with his ex-wife, Angela Ngani-Casara, with whom he has a complicated history, having married her twice.

In 2023, Morake found himself navigating the challenges of separation from his fourth wife, Pretty Samuels, who had levelled serious allegations against him, including claims of abuse and fraud.
Their marriage lasted just over a year, adding another layer of complexity to Morake’s romantic history, which also includes unions with Viveca Gipson, actress Nandi Ndlovu, and an engagement to former “Generations: The Legacy” star Zoe Mthiyane.
As news of his engagement to Ntsala spread, netizens took to social media to voice their support and congratulations for the couple.
Comments ranged from warmth to humour, with one user, @asiphe_bebeza, acknowledging Morake’s commitment to love: “One thing about you 😂 You date to marry, sana, and I love it for you 🤌🏻.”
Another user, @thebeikalafeng, commended him for embracing love in the face of criticism: “Congratulations, my brother. I love how you love love and ignore the critics who have nothing else good to say or happening in their lives while you live. Onwards and upwards.”
@minniedlamini said: “Congratulations 🥂 To the top with love ❤️.”
While @savitambuli said: “LOVE: The greatest gift of all. Congratulations to you two❤️.”
