Congratulations – Simphiwe Dana is getting married

Local songstress Simphiwe Dana is getting married to opera singer Pumeza Matshikiza. The “Usikhonzile” singer made the big announcement on Twitter and talks about how it took her a long time to accept her queer identity. She nonchalantly mentions that she’s getting married.

“It took me a long time to accept that I’m queer. And please, take it from me. I have never lied to you. I’m now getting married to the most amazing person. I need you to be happy for me,” she posted.

“Wish you absolutely everything of the best and cherish everything that you have, take care to guard it and accept the moments as they come. The gift you have is incredible, may the highest blessings be bestowed upon you,” said @BackyardstudioC.
