(PHOTO)9 Yr-Old Boy Remarries His 62-Yr-Old Beloved Wife

The eight-year-old boy who married a 61-year-
old woman on Valentine’s Day last year in a bid
to placate his ancestors repeated the ceremony
in the bride’s home town at the weekend.
Sanele Masilela is now nine and his wife, Helen
Shabangu, is 62 years old.
Yesterday’s wedding was held to introduce the
groom to the bride’s family in Bushbuckridge,
Mpumalanga.
TUX REDUX: In a follow-up to their big white
wedding last year, Sanele Masilela, 9, was
introduced to the family of Helen Shabangu, 62,
in Mpumalanga yesterday. As part of the
introduction, the two had to wear their white
wedding attire.

According to an agreement between the two
families, much of last year’s formal wedding
needed to be repeated before the couple
changed into traditional gear for the second part
of the ceremony.
The traditional marriage took place in Mkhuhlu
township, where Shabangu has a home. Last
year, their white wedding was held in Mamelodi,
Pretoria, where they live separately.
