I attended a wedding on 12 March 2016 and it was all sorts of special. One of my highlights for the day was when Deputy Chief Justice Dikgang Moseneke (he performed the Ceremony) declared the couple "Wife and Husband" and told the Wife to kiss her Husband. Many missed that bit but I think it was extremely important under Section 9 of the Constitution of South Africa. If you know our History as South Africans, you will know that for a long time, women were rendered second class citizens of South Afric
...a. It was when the Bill of Rights was introduced that women were formally recognised as EQUAL citizens. Therefore Language and Words are so important as they carry much power.
As if that was not enough. When the Father of the Groom gave the vote of thanks, he drummed it into his son's head that : "she is not going to be your slave. She will not be at you beck and call. She is equal just like all of us are in the family". Comrades, Compatriots and Friends of the Opposition. I could share many special moments about the wedding but I will leave it here.
There are days when it's painful being a Black Body. And then there are days when you realise how much
#BlackLove plays a role in our own assertions and liberation of our minds! You see - we have to squeeze out hope from every possible fruit.
