The ceremony united traditions
from both Mr Modisane's Tswana and Mr Sithole's Zulu ancestry, including
traditional dancing and the ritual sacrifice of a cow to honour the two
men's ancestors, as well as an an exchange of gifts between the two
grooms' families.
Tshepo Modisane, now Sithol, said: 'I love Thoba so much, I'm very excited we're both Mr Sithol.
'There
is an idea that being gay is against being African, but being gay is as
African as being black, so it's part of our culture and we are rooted
in our culture.'

The two also plan to have children
through a surrogate. In February Tshepo told Mamba Online: 'We are so blessed to have supportive families who care about us. Even though we
are gay they still love us.
'Family is important to us and that is the number one reason why we want to have children.
'We also want our children to grow up in an environment where they are loved greatly by both parents who appreciate them.'
