Two young men tied the knot in a rare South African gay wedding in KwaDukuza (Stanger) 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.
The wedding was a
jubilant, exciting affair, attracting even uninvited members of the
local community.
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.
Now that they are wedded, they will take on the double-barrelled
surname of Sithole-Modisane. The couple appeared to enjoy the support
from the community, family and friends.
The couple is reportedly planning to have children through a surrogate.
"Family is important to us and that is the number one reason why we
want to have children. We also want our children to grow up in an
environment where they are loved greatly by both parents who appreciate
them," said Thoba.
