Budd currently lives on her parents' farm in Bloemfontein, with her mother and three children (Mikey, Azelle and Lisa). She runs primarily for pleasure now, 10-15 miles (16–24 km) a day, but has run competitively on occasion in recent years.

In April 2006, Budd filed for divorce after her husband allegedly moved in with a semi-finalist in the Mrs United Nations South Africa beauty pageant. (The couple later reconciled.)

In 1989 Budd married Mike Pieterse and became Zola Pieterse. She began racing again in South Africa and had an excellent season in 1991, and was the second fastest woman in the world over 3,000m. Following their reintroduction to the world's sporting scene, she competed for South Africa in the 3000 meters at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, but did not qualify for the final. In 1993 she finished fourth at the World Cross Country championships but would never translate this form onto the track.

Budd remains the holder of numerous British and South African records, both at junior and senior levels. Budd still holds 2 junior world records, in the mile and 3000 meters.

Zola Budd has now largely given up running competitively, although she still runs for pleasure near her home in Bloemfontein, South Africa, where she lives with her husband and three children.
