This weekend, celebrity parents Minnie Dlamini-Jones and Quinton Jones hosted Imbeleko for their baby Netha Jones.
Imbeleko is a celebration to introduce the new arrival of the baby in the family to both ancestors of the families and family members. Usually doe at a young age, there is no age limit in Zulu society. The main aim is that of welcoming a new person to the new world. Normally a goat is slaughtered.
Minnie and former football player Quinton met in 2010 when they both worked at Urban Brew Studios. While Jones was much more senior than Dlamini, who was just an assistant runner at the time.

In an interview with Jacaranda FM, Minnie said, “We both worked at Urban Brew studios. He was obviously much more senior than I was, I was just like an assistant runner. He basically became my best friend. He was one of those friends where I’d be like in the club, and I’d be partying, and he would be like, ‘I think we should go home now,’ and I would be like, ‘why?’ and I would say, ‘okay, dad.’ Our friendship grew and grew.”
“We were both single, and he was like, ‘why don’t we give it a shot?’ I was like, ‘no that’s weird’. ‘He was like no one knows you like me, and no one knows me like you,” she explained.
On July 8, 2017, the pair tied the knot in a stunning traditional wedding at Glenn Hills in Northern Durban, KwaZulu Natal.
On September 16, 2017 the pair celebrated their nuptials again with a white wedding at the Lourensford Wine Estate in Somerset West.
