Last year in March, singer Langa Mavuso, bid farewell to the love of his life, Chef Lentswe Bhengu-Mafoko who passed away after a week of complaining about a stomach ache. The Home singer, who was in a relationship with the late chef for seven years, has confirmed and a year later, he has found love again in the arms of TV and radio host, Linda Mbuso.

A MATCH

A close friend said two are smitten. "They are head over heels in love. I love it for both of them." a friend who has been present since they met told ZiMoja. "Things are going really well. They are happy, they no longer keep it a secret and have mutual friends. They have also been attending public events together, they were together at Hey Neighbour in December and spent almost the entire festive season together." Linda began his radio broadcasting career in 2009 when he joined YFM and worked for six years before moving to 5FM where he worked on an early morning slot. He is a gentleman, philanthropist and psychology graduate. Linda is also very involved with the Historic Grounds production company. He also works with works NGOs Kasi 1808 and Siya Phana. A world traveler, Linda is also the author of Wounded Smiles.

LOVE IS IN THE AIR

A blushing and giggling Langa confirmed that he indeed has found love again and he and Linda are 'so happy,' he said. "Yes, Linda and I are dating, we are happy, we are good," he said. "He went to school with my cousin at Holly Family and they were really close and that is how we got to meet."

COMFORTING

After a year of mourning his late lover, Langa said he went to therapy and has been working on his healing. "It hasn't been easy but I have gone through therapy and have amazing support from family and friends," he added. Lentswe's untimely death came as a shock to many who knew him as a healthy individual. His family said in a statement soon after his passing that he died after a short illness. Langa spoke fondly of his late lover after his passing and went down memory lane and reflected on how he met the love of his life. "Regardless of the strain, we always knew we loved each other, and it was aptly said in every text, which ended with the words. Love first, Love always. But today, I must find new ways to embody that love and find a new place to share my heart." Langa told ZiMoja that Linda saw him through some of the mourning. "Linda also understands and was very supportive because he has been through a similar situation. He has helped me to get through the hard times." Langa said he knows wherever Lentswe is, he is happy about him moving on. "I know he wants me to be happy and he is happy with the person I chose. I love love and we are just happy."
