Bonelela “Buzza James” Mgudlwa is a South African attorney, Thembu royal and public figure, best known for his marriage to award-winning broadcaster Anele Mdoda. A member of the AbaThembu royal family, he is a proud custodian of his cultural heritage and traditions. Despite being connected to one of South Africa’s most recognisable media personalities, Buzza has largely maintained a life away from the public spotlight, with his professional career rooted in law.

Now, audiences get an intimate glimpse into his world through Netflix‘s four-part documentary series, Stars and Vows: Anele & Buzza. The series follows Buzza James and Anele’s relationship, from their early connection as teenagers to their journey towards marriage, offering viewers a closer look at the man behind the royal title. Through family dynamics, cultural expectations, faith and wedding preparations, Buzza reveals a more personal side of himself as he embraces love, marriage and the responsibilities that come with joining two families.
