She left her acting career in South Africa to go and live in the Netherlands. She continued shooting self-tapes of her acting but stayed away from the small screen. Former Generations star Asanda Foji and her husband recently celebrated seven years of marriage.?
SEVEN YEARS STRONG?
After leaving her acting career in South Africa, Asanda and her partner relocated to the Netherlands four years into their relationship and this year they celebrate seven years together. The Port Elizabeth talent took to social media to share her message of love. "Watch each other grow older year by year but never stop being children," she says. "Friendship grows love, not money. I love you, my king. Seven years and I’ve never loved you more. My God is an extraordinary God," she adds.
THEIR UNION
In 2022 she returned home for her lobola negotiation and traditional wedding. She showed off visuals from her traditional Xhosa union with her fianc?. "When my husband promised he’d make me his wife five years ago, in 2017, I thought to myself, ?I’ve heard that line before. When he finally asked for my hand in marriage and sent his uncles to negotiate lobola in 2019, I thought ?Ok this could really end in happiness.’ But when he and his uncles came back again last week to rightfully claim his wife and their makoti I thought, "My king, my baby love, my nunus, my soulmate has really kept his word and did right by me after every heart-break, set back, evil we have had to fight against together," she wrote. "Mama, I know you were smiling down on us and saw your last born being given away to a family chosen by you, my grandparents, and God because I felt your spirit the whole time."
GRATEFUL
Asanda is grateful for her union with her husband. "Growing up, I never knew what it was like having a home with both parents in a happy marriage because my mother’s husband died when we were very very young and my mother had to raise five children on her very own doing the best she could with what she had. So, the idea of a happy loving marriage was not something we sat on the table and spoke about at home.... I swear on my mother’s grave, on God, in Jesus’ name that I will build my home and carry my cross kowam umtshato (in my marriage) and no human being and no unholy assignments shall turn me backward," she added.
