Local songstress 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.

“We are! We are! We arrreee!! We're so happy for you!! I'm so glad you chose your happiness above everything else. Siyakuvuyela sisi,” said @LuXotyeni.

“This is beautiful. We are happy for you and love loving you. One love,“ said @Sebatjane_.

“May your marriage be beautiful and may u love and keep each other safe and happy for the rest of your years,” said @thangz_big.

Last year, Simphiwe came out on social media on Twitter.

“I’ve been holding this in since forever. I am gay,” she said.

And while she mentioned that she finally accepted that she would be marrying a woman, she didn’t specify that it would be with Pumeza.
