I’m happy that I married Helen – but I will go to school and study hard.

After the wedding last year people keep asking them question like
will they live together, sleep together, have babies but I keep telling
them that after the wedding everything went back to normal – nothing
changed.Sanele moved to Venda not long after the wedding because he wanted to
learn a new language, but they are very close. Our families are very
close.It was nice celebrate with a wedding once more, it was after all a calling from the ancestors.
By doing this we made the ancestors happy. If we hadn’t done what my
son had asked then something bad would have happened in the family.”
