“The first ceremony took place at the house of the groom, Sanele Masilela (9).
This time it all happened at bride Helen Shabangu’s house in Kildare Village near Bushbuckridge, Mpumalanga. About 100 guests attended the wedding. The story about the first wedding ceremony in Mamelodi East’s extension 6, Tshwane appeared in Daily Sun in February last year.
The boy’s mum, Patience Masilela (47) said she named Sanele after his late grandfather. “My grandfather never married my mother in a white wedding, so that’s why the ancestors told him to get married,” said Patience. “Sanele chose Helen (69), who works with me at the dumping site. Something bad could have happened if we did not do what the boy asked. It’s a ritual that the ancestors wanted.”
Villager Eugen Martin (19) said: “I would also do something like that for the ancestors because they bring us luck.” But Tressy Mathebula (22) said: “I am shocked. This is wrong.” The bride shared a piece of cake, a toast and a kiss with both her young groom and her real husband, Alfred Shabangu (66), who attended both wedding ceremonies with their five kids. Sanele told Daily Sun: “I chose her because I love her. I’m happy that I married her.”
