This is the 8 year-old boy who got married to a 61 year-old woman in South Africa to “make the ancestors happy”? Although
their wedding was a surprise to everyone, the couple and their families
see nothing wrong with the wedding and are enjoying their “married
life”.
The
boy, Sanele Masilela got married to Helen Shabangu after his
grandfather contacted him from beyond the grave telling him that he
needed to wed. He married Helen in accordance with the wishes of his
dead ancestor, and his family provided Helen with £500 and paid a
further £1,000 for the celebration.
Although the couple do not live together, Helen is often invited to have dinner with him at the family’s home. Meanwhile, Sanele
has gone back to his life and continues to enjoy school and playing
football with his friends. Sanele is already enjoying married life
according to him
“The
day was great and it was exactly what I had imagined it would be
like. My friends thought it was really funny that I was getting married
but I do now feel like a husband,”
Lol! Enjoy your man...
