Zizo Tshwete Career
Zizo Tshwete was push into the spotlight when she won the Miss South Africa teen crown in 2004 and since then, she has become one of the hardest working women in the entertainment industry.
During her interview with Tshisalive, they asked her, “How did you get into tv?” “Yo-tv covered quite a few of this projects I was involved with throughout the year of my reign and a year later I got a call from the producers with the offer to be one of their presenters, and that was the first step in my television career.”
Zizo got the opportunity to host a number of shows and she always nailed her job. She started off as a presenter on Selimathunzi and she also became the host of the Afternoon Express, a talk show that aired on SABC 3. She was also the host of the Lotto Live show on a weekly basis. Zizo Tshwete joined the Masigoduke team soon after her exit on SABC 1’s iconic show, Selimathunzi.
This move laid a few mixed reactions from her masses of fans as many would have never predicted that she would try in radio. In 2019 the cleaver fell on one of South Africa’s much loved media personality’s collar Zizo Tshwete. According to Sunday World, the powers that be allegedly decided not to renew the former Selimathunzi presenter’s contract with Umhlobo Wenene.

Zizo Tshwete Husband And Wedding
Zizo prefers to keep her personal life as private as possible. However, on a session at Kaya FM, she opened up and shared a bit about her husband and her son. In the rather active interview, she said that she first met with Mayihlome Tshwete in Durban while attending Malusi Gigaba’s 40th birthday bash.
Zizo Beda and Mayihlome Tshwete meeting was either a luck or an act of heavenly connection because each of them had come to the minister’s birthday celebration for entirely different reasons.
She had gone to cover the event for her show (Selimathunzi) while Tshwete was a part of the celebration’s organizing committee. At their first meeting, lady Zizo was unsure and quite doubtful about his real intentions.
Dating was not on her priority list since at that point the focus was more on building her career. She played hard for a while, but as they continued to talk and hang out, the friendship graduated into a mutual relationship that would end up in lifelong commitments.
On December 11, 2015, they tied the knot in a glamorous western wedding at the Gonubie Manor venue in East London. They held an equally extravagant Xhosa wedding on December 12, 2015, at Eastern Cape, King William’s Town. In attendance, there were celebrities like Akhumzi Jezile, Malusi Gigaba, Shaka Sisulu, Khaya Dlanga, Lupi Ngcayisa, and Ndumiso Lindi.
Beda matched her husband’s colorless attire with her colorful Makoti, and it was well decorated in beadings and creamy layers
Zizo Tshwete Son
One would imagine that Mayihlome Tshwete settled for December 12 to give his lady a birthday gift in the form of a wedding because that was her birthday. Whichever the case, the two became one, and after only three months in their marriage, they welcomed a bouncing baby boy.
Zizo Tshwete son was named Vukile. In many ways, Mrs Tshwete is having fun raising her son. She admits that parenting is no walk in the park, but at the end of the day, it is quite fulfilling.

No matter how organized you are, being a parent is not easy at all. This week Vukile and I have been through a lot”. She said that they kept fighting because he was either resisting eating or wearing his pajamas. In spite of daily fad, their mother-son bond is strong, and Vukile knows exactly when to tone down when his mother’s patience has been stretched to the limit.
