Johannesburg - Their romance, and engagement soon after, caught us all by surprise. But Fikile Mthwalo and her man, Atandwa Kani, are taking all the attention in their stride and living in their "own world."
Speaking to Sowetan recently, Fikile reveals that she and Atandwa live in their own little world, where no one but each other exists, and all the attention around them is just "a planet orbiting our little planet."
But their little planet is about to be rocked with Fikile set to move to New York for school next Wednesday.
Still, she says she's not concerned about maintaining a long-distance relationship.
"Our love is just too strong to be broken by those logistics," she says. "Plus it's not like I won't be seeing him. Atandwa does a lot of theatre work in New York."
There's always skype, Fikile.
