Video: Gay Traditional Marriage

Thoba Sithole, a Zulu from KwaDukuza, and Tshepo Modisane, a Tswana from Johannesburg, tied the knot on Saturday in KwaDukuza with about 200 people, including family, friends, onlookers and the media in attendance. Sithole and Modisane, both 27, defended their wedding and said there was nothing evil or nontraditional about it.

The couple said the support they had received from their families made it easier for them to tie the knot. “My family has always been there for me and had always been there for me even in my previous homosexual relationships,” said Modisane. Sithole said his mother had always told him how she was looking forward to seeing him getting married to his partner.

The gay couple who tied the knot in a traditional Zulu and Tswana wedding while dressed in traditional attire say they will not be fazed by the criticism being aimed at them by social network users and Zulu culture experts.They started dating in 2011 after they had been friends for some time.

Modisane said he was attracted to Sithole because he was a well-grounded man who loved God and was someone who could bring stability in his life. Sithole said their next step after the wedding was buying a home and starting their own family. “We are fully committed to each other and we believe children form an important foundation in bringing stability in one’s life,” he said. “We will be adopting two kids – a boy and a girl to be part of our family.”
