Maps’ sweet birthday tribute to Boity leaves you deep in the feels

JOHANNESBURG — South African media personalities Maps Maponyane and Boity Thulo stay serving goals, after the TV host gushed over his “bestie” in a touching social media tribute this week.

The pair, who have fought back dating rumours for more than two years, yet again had tongues wagging when Maps penned a touching birthday message praising Boity.

“It's my bestie's birthday and her name Boitumelo couldn't be more apt for all the joy she brings into people's lives,” Maps wrote in his wish.

He added that the world is “blessed” to have Boity for 31 years, and he can't wait to “see what happens in the next 31 and beyond”.

Boity responded with her own cute message to Maps, thanking him for his love and support.

“Aaaaw, Mapsy! Thank you so much for your love, support and for always showing up for me! You’re a true gem and our friendship has been one of the best parts of my journey! Love you too, babes!” she wrote.
