You may kiss the groom - Tshepo and Thoba |
Kiyo: Two young men tied
the knot in a rare South African gay wedding in KwaDukuza (Stranger) on
Saturday.
In
what was described as the town’s first gay marriage, Tshepo Modisane and Thoba
Sithole, both 27, walked down the aisle in front of 200 guests at the Stanger
Siva Sungam community hall.
Thoba,
a Joburg-based IT specialist, is
from Shakaville, KwaDukuza and Tshepo an audit
manager at PwC. They have known each other for years and dated on and off,
before stabilising their relationship.
Tshepo
said one of the reasons they chose to be so open was that they “hope to inspire
people out there who are still struggling to come to terms with their
sexuality”.
“We
see no reason to hide in darkness as if there is something to be ashamed about.
“Our
marriage is largely symbolic and a sign that black gay men can commit and build
a family through a happy and loving marriage,” he said.
The
couple are reportedly planning to have children through a surrogate.
Pastor
Tankiso Mokwena who married the couple said “This is my first wedding of this
kind,”
Filo: You may kiss the
groom, nwa o kiss the groom nwa. How your body dey do you; imagine say Gordons
marry Adams Oshiomole
