KwaDukuza, South Africa – Africa’s first traditional gay wedding has arrived. The country, which is notorious for its negative stance on homosexuality, is now finally getting a taste of what’s to come in the near future. The men who wed, Tshepo Cameron Modisane and Thoba Calvin Sithol, were reported to have married in KwaDukuza, South Africa, with over 200 elated attendees. The ceremony (which was part Zulu, part Tswana) is only one of two ceremonies for the newlyweds; a second, more intimate wedding will be held later this year in Johannesburg. But wait, there’s more: children via surrogacy is hopefully in the near future for Tshepo and Thoba. Thankfully, the couple has some serious support; “the great step that we took in our relationship as a gay couple was introducing each other to our families”, says Tshepo. “We are so blessed to have supportive families who care about us. Even though we are gay they still love us.”
