Africa’s First Official Gay Couple End Their Marriage

The couple that made world headlines as the first ever African gay couple to tie the knot in a traditional wedding ceremony that caused a stir in South Africa and internationally in 2013, have gone their separate ways. All that love they once had for each other, has sadly, ended in a bitter divorce.

When Thoba Sithole and Cameron Modisane wedded in 2013, the pair seemed deeply in love and even talked about raising a family together.

They had planned on having kids via surrogacy. Unfortunately, the couple’s bliss didn’t last long.

One half of the former love birds, released a statement about their separation via his facebook page.
