Not even death could stop him from marrying his one true love.
Gamelihle Dlungwane‚ 63‚ married his school sweetheart and mother of his three children‚ Sindiswa Khuzwayo‚ on Sunday in a traditional ceremony in the rural village of Gunjini‚ north of Durban.
The couple had been dating since high school and were set to get married on June 24‚ when Khuzwayo‚ 63‚ died last Sunday‚ of complications relating to her diabetic condition.
Heartbroken by her death‚ Dlungwane felt compelled to give his wife the wedding she had dreamed of.
“She had dreamed about her wedding day for years. Before she died‚ she had asked for a wedding ring and for a veil to wear with her traditional outfit. I gave her those two things so I think she’s at peace‚” Dlungwane said.
